Article 1219

RA 386 · Civil Code of the Philippines

ELI5— what this means for you

If a creditor forgives one solidary debtor's share of a debt, that doesn't free that debtor from having to reimburse the other co-debtors, if one of them had already paid the whole debt before the forgiveness happened.

Official text — RA 386

The remission made by the creditor of the share which affects one of the solidary debtors does not release the latter from his responsibility towards the co-debtors, in case the debt had been totally paid by anyone of them before the remission was effected. (1146a)
