English term

joint and several liability

GBK English to Hindi 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.
Example sentences:
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. )

Pundora May 24, 2009:
Individual and private vs. separate. Because वैयक्तिक सम्‍पत्ति and पृथक दायित्व are different things. Separate is separate, meaning पृथक or अलग in Hindi. It doesn't mean indivitual or private(वैयक्तिक, निजी, etc.), at least in the given context. Please have a look at the following entry in Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary:

sev•er•al•ly /sevrli/ adv. (formal or law) separately: Tenants are jointly and severally liable for payment of the rent.

Subhash Tripathi May 22, 2009:
Pundora mentioned the word " वैयक्तिक सम्‍पत्ति से अपने ऋणों की वसूली कर सकते हैं। ......"but he used पृथक instead of वैयक्तिक ,. पृथक is not closer to the meaning described
Subhash Tripathi May 22, 2009:
Pundora has given translation close to what i gave.... hardly much difference. I did it on my own no refernce i looked for...
Subhash Tripathi May 22, 2009:

संयुक्त एवं पृथक दायित्व

Definition from own experience or research:
संयुक्त एवं पृथक दायित्व के तहत, दावा करने वाली पार्टी किसी भी एक पार्टी से दायित्व पूर्ति की मांग कर सकती है मानो यह उनका संयुक्त दायित्व हो, और फिर यह बचाव पक्ष की पार्टियों का काम है कि वे दायित्व और भुगतान में अपना-अपना हिस्सा तय करें.
Example sentences:
उन्होंने कहा कि बैंक की ओर से एक नयी योजना संयुक्त दायित्व समूह की शुरूआत की गयी है.....इसके लिए पांच व्यक्ति इकट्ठा होकर लोन ले सकते हैं... पांच लोगों के समूह में प्रत्येक व्यक्ति एक दूसरे का गारंटर होता है...... (in.jagran.yahoo.com)
और, जायदाद के प्रत्येक स्वामी पर आयकर देयता या संपत्ति कर देयता का पृथक दायित्व होगा। हालांकि यदि संपत्ति के स्वामित्व में यथानुपात योगदान करने के लिए किसी एक संयुक्त खरीदार ... (amarujala.com)
साझेदारों का दायित्‍व असीमित होता है। कानूनी रूप से साझेदार संयुक्‍त होते है और फर्म के दायित्‍वों के लिए उनकी उनकी जवाबदेही होती है। इसका आशय यहां है कि यदि फर्म की परिसम्‍पत्ति और सम्‍पत्ति फर्म के ऋणों को पूरा करने हेतु अपर्याप्‍त होती हैं तो ऋणदाता व्‍यष्टि साझेदारों की वैयक्तिक सम्‍पत्ति से अपने ऋणों की वसूली कर सकते हैं। (bharat.gov.in)
