Practice question
A fully pays the common solidary tort liability. Only afterward the creditor purports to remit B’s share. B invokes that later remission to defeat A’s already-arisen contribution claim. What Article1219 qualification applies?
- The later remission does not release B from responsibility to co-debtors after prior full payment
- Any later creditor statement always erases paid-debtor recourse
- Payment is legally irrelevant to the timing
- The creditor automatically owns A’s contribution claim
- B may require the victim to pay the whole award again
