Where two or more persons stand surety for a single divisible principal obligation, each of them is liable as simple surety for his share and as collateral surety for the shares of the others. Where they have assumed joint and several liability by agreement with the principal debtor or among themselves, each of them is liable for the whole obligation. However, a co-surety may refuse to pay more than his share where debt enforcement proceedings have not been commenced against all other jointly and severally liable co-sureties who entered into the contract of surety before him or at the same time and who may be sued for the obligation in Switzerland. He has the same right if his co-sureties have paid their share or furnished real security. Unless otherwise agreed, a co-surety who has paid his share has a right of recourse against other jointly and severally liable co-sureties to the extent that each of them has not yet paid his share. This right may be exercised before recourse against the principal debtor. Where it was apparent to the creditor that the surety entered into the contract on condition that others would stand surety with him for the same principal obligation, the surety is released if such condition is not fulfilled or if subsequently one of the co-sureties is released from his liability by the creditor or if his undertaking is declared invalid. In this last case the court may also, on grounds of equity, simply adjudicate that the surety’s liability be reduced by an appropriate amount. Where several persons have independently agreed to stand surety for the same principal obligation, each of them is liable for the whole amount of his own commitment. However, unless otherwise agreed, a surety who pays such amount has a right of recourse against the others for their respective shares.

Plirs garants che han surpiglià da star buns cuminaivlamain per il medem debit principal divisibel, stattan buns per lur parts sco garants simpels e per las parts dals auters sco garants dal garant. Sch’els han surpiglià ina garanzia solidarica cun il debitur principal ubain tranter els, stat mintgin bun per l’entir debit. Il garant po dentant refusar da pajar l’import che surpassa sia part, uschè ditg ch’i n’è betg vegnida introducida la scussiun cunter tut ils congarants che ston star buns solidaricamain, perquai ch’els han surpiglià la garanzia avant el ubain cun el e perquai ch’els pon vegnir clamads davant dretgira en Svizra per quest debit. Il medem dretg ha el, sche ses congarants han pajà lur part u sch’els han dà ina garanzia reala per quella. Per ils pajaments prestads ha il garant – nun ch’i saja vegnì concludì insatge auter – il dretg da prender regress sin ils congarants che stattan buns solidaricamain cun el, uschenavant che mintgin dad els n’ha betg gia pajà sia part. Quest dretg po preceder al regress sin il debitur principal. Sch’in garant ha surpiglià la garanzia sut la premissa ch’il creditur sappia che anc auters garants – ultra dad el – vegnian a s’obligar per il medem debit principal, vegn el deliberà da la garanzia, sche questa premissa na vegn betg ademplida u sch’in tal congarant vegn deliberà posteriuramain da sia responsabladad tras il creditur ubain sche sia garanzia vegn declerada sco nunvalaivla. En quest ultim cas po il derschader er mo reducir adequatamain la responsabladad, sche quai è giustifitgà. Sche plirs garants han surpiglià independentamain in da l’auter la garanzia per il medem debit principal, sto mintgin star bun per l’entir import, per il qual el ha surpiglià la garanzia. Quel garant che presta il pajament ha dentant il dretg da prender regress sin ils auters tenor la proporziun da lur parts, nun ch’i saja vegnì concludì insatge auter.
