agree  JeffFish (X): Beat me to it. Caveat: I'm not sure if "mithafter" is even German; the root term is "haftender" = party liable according to Schäfer Wirtschaftsenglisch. The correct German term might therefore be "mithaftender"

agree  NickWatson: I agree up to a point, I would have thought it would be better to write "jointly liable party"
