| sem benefício de ordem without privilege of order Explanation: this relates to a surety’s right to require a creditor to seek payment from the principal debtor before seeking payment from the surety. order in this case means "sequence" See "beneficio ordinis" in Black's law dictionary - even the old editions have it tho' worded differently. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs 32 mins (2005-02-15 12:01:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Well, in this case, I figure that they are basically saying that if there is some nonperformance of the contract, the principal is entitled to proceed against the contractor FIRST and the contractor cannot say \"well, that\'s the fault of one of my subcontractors, so go after that guy.\" It\'s a fancy way of saying that the contractor remains primarily liable to the principal for whatever goes wrong. In this case (I admit I answered hastily w/o paying enough attention to the context), I suppose you could perhaps say \"....the joint liability and status as primary obligor of the Contractor toward the Principal....\" BUT, now I\'m wondering - After all, here we are WITHOUT privilege of order, which should mean that the principal could proceed against anyone. The subcontractors would not be protected by the \"privilege of order\" from being sued by the principal even tho\' the principal is supposed to proceed against the contractor first. Perhaps I should withdraw my answer and let someone else take over, or perhaps it\'s just too early in the morning.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs 38 mins (2005-02-15 12:06:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Alish, I did not see the other two notes when I wrote the above. I won\'t have a chance to look at them now until later this morning, but surely someone else will speak up. |

| sem benefício de ordem without the benefit of excussion Explanation: I believe what they are referring to is the "benefit of excussion" - a creditor can sue any of the parties that are jointly and severally liable - e.g. a sub-contractor cannot rely on the benefit of excussion if approached first instead of a main contractor (hence the concept of "order"); he cannot turn round and say you have to first have to excuss [To seize and detain by law, as goods. [Obs.] --Ayliffe. [1913 Webster] all the available assets of the main contractor first. Same if a director signs surety for a company - if he has waived the benefit of excussion, he cannot in his defence plea the assets of the company should have been attached first if he is sued for a company debt Note here it is WITHOUT the benefit of excussion - the sub-contractor/director (in my examples) would have have recourse to that benefit (i.e. that defence) if they were sued) Inside this issue: File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTML ...
