The provision
Neither does the lessee have any right to a reduction of the rent if the fruits are lost after they have been separated from their stalk, root or trunk. (1576)
Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
A tenant cannot demand lower rent for crops that are lost after they have already been harvested. Once the fruits are detached from their stalk, root, or trunk, the risk of losing them falls on the lessee, so no reduction of rent is available for that loss.

Intellegal Wiki · How the courts apply it
In Maximiliano Sancho v. Severiano Lizarraga, the Supreme Court held: A partner's failure to contribute the agreed capital does not give another partner a right to rescind under the general obligations rule; the special partnership provisions (Articles 1681–1682) govern, making the defaulter liable for the capital with interest and damages.
