1766. A successful bidder whose right of ownership of property acquired at an auction sale is infringed as a result of seizure of the property by a creditor of the seller may recover the price paid, with interest and costs, from the seller. He may also recover the price, with interest, from the creditors of the seller to whom it has been remitted, but they may set up the benefit of discussion against him.
He may claim from the seizing creditor damages resulting from any irregularity in the seizure or sale.
