Civil Transactions Law

1. If the creditor releases a solidary debtor only from his share of the debt, said debtor, along with the other debtors, shall be released from the debt to the extent of his share, but he shall not be released from solidary liability. 2. If the creditor releases a solidary debtor from solidary liability, said debtor shall remain liable only for his share of the debt and the creditor may not demand the debtor to pay the share of the other debtors. The other debtors shall have the right of recourse against the released debtor for payments made on his behalf due to their solidary liability. 3. If the creditor releases a solidary debtor from the debt without specifying what is covered by such release, the solidary debtor shall be released from both the debt and the solidary liability, unless the circumstances or the nature of the dealing indicates that the release is limited to either the debt or the solidary liability.
