California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 2 — Property, Part 4 — Acquisition of Property, Title 3 — Accession, Chapter 2 — Accession to Personal Property, Section 1032
In all cases where one whose material has been used without his knowledge, in order to form a product of a different description, can claim an interest in such product, he has an option to demand either restitution of his material in kind, in the same quantity, weight, measure, and quality, or the value thereof; or where he is entitled to the product, the value thereof in place of the product.
Notes
Allows a material owner whose material was unknowingly used to make a different product, when that owner can claim an interest in the product, to demand equivalent material or its value. If the owner is entitled to the product itself, the owner may instead demand the product’s value.
