1075. The indemnity owing to the syndicate following a substantial loss is, notwithstanding article 2494, paid to the trustee appointed in the act constituting the co-ownership or, where none has been appointed, to a trustee who must be designated without delay by the syndicate.
The indemnity shall be used to repair or rebuild the immovable, unless the syndicate decides to terminate the co-ownership, in which case the trustee, after determining each co-owner’s share of the indemnity according to the relative value of his fraction, pays the prior and hypothecary creditors out of that share according to the rules in article 2497. For each of the co-owners, he remits the balance of the indemnity to the liquidator of the syndicate with his report.
A government regulation may determine the criteria for characterizing a loss as substantial.
