[IGB 38] Restoration of things bailed gratuitously38
38
The lender of a thing for use may at any time require its return if the loan was gratuitous, even though he or she lent it for a specified time or purpose. But if on the faith of such loan made for a specified time or purpose the borrower has acted in such a manner that the return of the thing lent before the time agreed upon would cause him or her loss exceeding the benefit actually derived by him or her from the loan, the lender must, if he or she compels the return, indemnify the borrower for the amount in which the loss so occasioned exceeds the benefit so derived.
