Primary text

If the capital owner is present and aware of the situation regarding the stolen or usurped capital, the working partner (Agent/Amil) is not required to pursue its recovery, nor is he liable for it if he neglects to do so, because the capital owner has a greater right to pursue the matter than his agent.
