The creditor is entitled to take delivery of the thing lodged at any time. If, however, the debtor is bound to perform only after a counter-prestation has been performed by the creditor, the debtor may prevent the delivery of the thing lodged, until the counter-prestation has been performed or proper security has been furnished.
中文原文 民法第329條
債權人得隨時受取提存物,如債務人之清償,係對債權人之給付而為之者,在債權人未為對待給付或提出相當擔保前,得阻止其受取提存物。
