Practice question
For an established solidary wage obligation, must the worker ordinarily collect only one-half from each solidary debtor?
- Yes, every solidary debt is divided equally against the creditor.
- No; solidarity allows recovery of the covered obligation from a solidary debtor, without double recovery.
- Yes, unless every shareholder agrees.
- Only the contractor's half may ever be collected.
- The worker must abandon the claim against both.
