Short answer. Where the sale was made in bad faith, you may additionally claim damages and interest, plus ornamental expenses, on top of the property's value, the fruits or income you were ordered to hand over, the costs of both lawsuits, and the expenses of the contract that a good-faith seller would already owe you.
What the law says
The damages and interests, and ornamental expenses, if the sale was made in bad faith.
Civil Code, Article 1555 — What the Buyer May Recover on Eviction. Read the full provision →
What every evicted buyer can recover, bad faith or not
When a buyer loses the property to eviction — a third party with a better right prevails in court — the law entitles the buyer to recover several items regardless of the seller's good or bad faith: the value the property had at the time of eviction (which may be more than the original price), any fruits or income the buyer had to hand over to the winning party, the costs of the eviction suit and of the suit against the seller for the warranty, and the expenses of the contract itself if the buyer paid them.
Bad faith adds one more item: damages, interest, and ornamental expenses
The extra recovery available specifically because the seller acted in bad faith is damages and interest, plus ornamental expenses. This is the item the statute reserves for a seller who knew of the defect in title or the risk of eviction and sold anyway without disclosing it. A buyer dealing with a bad-faith seller does not lose access to the other items above — the value of the property, fruits, suit costs, and contract expenses remain recoverable too — bad faith simply adds this additional head of recovery on top.
Why the distinction matters
A seller acting in good faith, unaware of the eviction risk, still owes the buyer the value of the property and the other listed items, because the warranty against eviction does not depend on the seller's knowledge. But the law treats concealment differently from honest ignorance: a seller who knew the buyer might lose the property and sold regardless is made to answer for the fuller measure of loss, including improvements made for enjoyment or appearance rather than necessity, which good faith alone would not require.
What you will need to show
This remedy assumes the eviction has actually happened — a final judgment stripped you of the property in favor of someone with a superior right — and that the warranty against eviction was either agreed upon or simply never waived. It does not cover a buyer who never lost the property, or a dispute that settled short of an adverse judgment. Proving bad faith is a separate burden from proving eviction itself: you must show the seller actually knew of the risk to title, not merely that the risk existed or that a more careful seller might have discovered it. Absent that showing, the ordinary items of recovery still apply, but the additional head tied to bad faith does not.
