Practice question
Two negligent actors are duly found liable for one quasi-delict injury of PHP200,000. One pays the full amount validly satisfying the common liability. May the victim demand the same PHP200,000 again solely from the second actor?
- No, full satisfaction is not a right to another identical compensation
- Yes, because there are two defendants
- Yes, because the second has not personally paid the victim
- Only if the first actor dislikes contribution
- Yes, automatically under Article 2194
