明治商法（明治32年）

Compensation consists, in the case of money debts, in the payment, besides the amount of the debt itself, of moratory interest from the due date until the date on which the debt is paid ; in the case of all other debts, in the payment of the highest money value that the object due reached after the due date, with the addition of moratory interest from the date of such assessment until the day of payment, unless the creditor prefers thereto the value of such object on the due date with moratory interest from such date.

The rate of moratory interest as well as that of other interest, in so far as it is not fixed by law or by contract, is seven per cent per annum.

ART. 404. Lorsque la créance est productive d'intérêts, le taux de ceux-ci est de cinq pour cent par an, à moins de déclaration de volonté particulière.

Die Höhe der gesetzlichen Zinsen, insbesondere auch der Verzugszinsen, ist bei Handelsgeschäften sechs vom Hundert jährlich.

In allen Fällen, in welchen in diesem Gesetzbuche die Verpflichtung zur Zahlung von Zinsen ohne Bestimmung der Höhe ausgesprochen wird, sind darunter Zinsen zu sechs vom Hundert jährlich zu verstehen.
