The meaning of arbitrariness isthe contradiction between the intention of the guardian and the intention of the wise legislator in exercising a legal right in the original, and a person shall be considered abusive and arbitrary in the use of his right if he intends to exercise his legal right only to cause annoyance, harm, or injury to another, or to use it for a purpose other than the interest for which it was prescribed.
