Practice question
A solidary debt has three equal PHP30,000 internal shares. A valid defense personal only to B defeats B’s share, and A invokes it in the creditor’s action. No defense defeats A’s or C’s shares. Under 1222, how far may A use that other-person defense?
- Only as to B’s PHP30,000 part, not automatically the entire PHP90,000.
- Automatically against the entire debt regardless of its personal scope.
- Never as to any part despite 1222.
- Only according to handwriting size.
- It converts the debt into an inheritance.
