1. If the sharecropping land is subject to an entitlement after it has been planted and before the crops are harvested, and both contracting parties were acting in good faith and unaware of the cause of the entitlement, they may keep the land under sharecropping until the end of the season for what was planted, and the land provider shall owe a rent of the like to the entitled party. 2. If both were acting in bad faith, the entitled party may uproot the crops and take their land free of any encumbrance, and shall owe nothing to either of them. 3. If the land provider alone was acting in bad faith and the entitled party does not agree to leave the land thereto for a remuneration of the like until the end of the season, the following shall apply: a. If the seeds were provided by the land provider, they shall be liable to pay the farmer (sharecropper) remuneration of the like, along with compensation equivalent to what they spent in money, remuneration for labourers, and similar expenses, to the customary extent, if the contract binds them to bear such expenditures. The land provider may avoid this liability by paying the farmer (sharecropper) the value of their share of the crops as standing, not uprooted, until ripening. b. If the seeds were provided by the farmer (tenant farmer), they shall be entitled, as against the land provider, to the value of their share of the crops, valued as standing until ripening. c. The farmer, in both cases, whether the seeds were provided thereby or by the land provider, may choose to take their share of the crops uprooted, in which case they shall have no further claim.
