Statutory text (Thai original)

ถ้าผู้รับจำนำเอาทรัพย์สินซึ่งจำนำออกใช้เอง หรือเอาไปให้บุคคลภายนอกใช้สอย หรือเก็บรักษาโดยผู้จำนำมิได้ยินยอมด้วยไซร้ ท่านว่าผู้รับจำนำจะต้องรับผิดเพื่อที่ทรัพย์สินจำนำนั้นสูญหาย หรือบุบสลายไปอย่างใด ๆ แม้ทั้งเป็นเพราะเหตุสุดวิสัย เว้นแต่จะพิสูจน์ได้ว่าถึงอย่างไร ๆ ก็คงจะต้องสูญหาย หรือบุบสลายอยู่นั่นเอง

Verbatim from the Royal Gazette / Office of the Council of State

Notable

Why this matters in practice

Lawyers: This provision imposes near-absolute liability on a pledgee who uses pledged property without consent. The only defence is proving inevitable loss regardless of the unauthorised use. This rule deters misuse of pledged assets by lenders. Laypeople: If you pledge an item to a lender and the lender uses it without your permission, the lender is responsible if it is damaged or lost: even if the cause was accidental.

Legislative history

Part of the original Civil and Commercial Code codification; no major subsequent amendment.
