Practice question
Two negligent contractors are established to be jointly responsible in quasi-delict for a passerby’s indivisible injury. One argues that the claimant can never invoke solidarity without an express solidarity contract. What is correct?
- Article2194 itself supplies solidarity for persons liable for a quasi-delict
- Solidarity can arise only by private writing
- The lack of a contract defeats all tort liability
- Only one contractor can ever be sued
- The claimant must treat the injury as a gift
