English translation of the principle

The employer's insurance against workplace accidents. Its nature. Liability insurance where the risk concerns the insured's property, not his person, and its subject is the money owed by the insured. - The insured's coverage. It is determined by what is agreed in the insurance policy, so his liability is defined by the subject to which he committed himself. - Statutory subrogation of the person paying the debt to the creditor's position. Its implication. Payment must have been made by a person other than the debtor, paying a debt owed by the debtor, not a debt owed by himself. - Assignment of a right. Its implication. What passes to the assignee is the assigned right itself, with its attributes, accessories, and securities. An example.
