Additional field(s): Investment / Securities, Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase: joint and several liability
Definition from www.businessballs.com:
Where parties act together in a contract as partners they have joint and several liability. In addition to all the partners being responsible together, each partner is also liable individually for the entire contract - so a creditor could recover a whole debt from any one of them individually, leaving that person to recover their shares from the rest of the partners.

Example sentence(s):
  • It has become apparent in our industrialized society that this doctrine [the common law doctrine of joint and several liability] has produced inequitable and unfair results that have had a detrimental impact on businesses. www.pointoflaw.com
  • Judgment against a teaching hospital in a medical malpractice suit shall be based on the percentage of fault and not Joint and Several Liability. www.subrogation.net
  • Joint and several liability can also apply to rent arrears on joint tenancies, arrears on joint mortgages, Council Tax payments and water charges on properties that have been jointly occupied. Payplan Ltd.
