Art. 124 OR

Eine Verrechnung tritt nur insofern ein, als der Schuldner dem Gläubiger zu erkennen gibt, dass er von seinem Rechte der Verrechnung Gebrauch machen wolle.

Ist dies geschehen, so wird angenommen, Forderung und Gegenforderung seien, soweit sie sich ausgleichen, schon im Zeitpunkte getilgt worden, in dem sie zur Verrechnung geeignet einander gegenüberstanden.

Vorbehalten bleiben die besonderen Übungen des kaufmännischen Kontokorrentverkehres.
