Primary text

If the contract is void and both parties contributed the seed, the crop is shared between them. They must reconcile any excess payment made by one over the other by adjusting the standard rental fee owed by the laborer for the owner's share of the land, and the laborer's fee according to their work on the owner's share of the land.
