If a co-owner of an immovable has sold his share with a special agreement for repurchase, and afterwards the immovable is partitioned or sold at auction, the original seller may exercise his right of repurchase against the share or price which the buyer has received or is to receive. If partition or auction has taken place without notice being given to the original seller, such fact cannot be set up against him.

585.

If in the case mentioned in the preceding article the original buyer has bought the property at the auction, the original seller may exercise his right of repurchase on repaying the auction price and the expenses mentioned in Art. 583. In such case the original seller acquires the ownership of the whole of the immovable.

If the other co-owners have demanded partition, and thereupon the original buyer has bought the thing at the auction, the original seller cannot exercise his right of repurchase as to the buyer’s share only.
