English term

joint and several liability

GBK English to Catalan Law/Patents Law (general)
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.
