by way of secondary liability
Explanation:
I think secondary liability is likely in a tax secnario, as with CTT/Capital Transfer Tax of old in the UK, now Inheritance Tax. The donor was primarily liable, the donee secondarily.

Reference information:
it's more an explanation than a translation but probably it helps - I am not a native speaker of english language
