If, for the duration of the dian, the property dianed has been wholly or partially destroyed by force majeure, both the dian and the right of redemption are extinguished in respect to the part destroyed.In the case of the preceding paragraph, if the dian-maker redeems the part remaining, he may deduct from original price received for the dian the price for the dian of the destroyed part. The price for the dian of the destroyed part is calculated according to the proportion of the value which the part destroyed had at the time of such destruction and the value which the property dianed had at the time of such destruction.
