The surety is entitled and obliged to plead against the creditor all defences open to the principal debtor or his heirs which are not based on the insolvency of the principal debtor. Suretyship for obligations that are not binding on the principal debtor owing to error or incapacity to make a contract or for time-barred obligations is reserved. Where the principal debtor waives a defence that is open to him, the surety may nevertheless plead it. Where the surety fails to plead defences open to the principal debtor, he forfeits his right of recourse to the extent that such defences would have released him from liability unless he can prove that he was unaware of them through no fault of his own. A person who stands surety for an obligation that is not actionable because it stems from gambling or betting may plead the same defences as are open to the principal debtor even if he was aware of that defect.

Il garant ha il dretg e l’obligaziun da far las objecziuns cunter il creditur, las qualas il debitur principal u ses ertavels han il dretg da far e las qualas na resultan betg tras l’insolvenza dal debitur principal. Resalvada resta la garanzia per in debit ch’è nunliant per il debitur principal pervia d’ina errur u pervia da l’inabilitad da far in contract ubain la garanzia per in debit surannà. Sch’il debitur principal renunzia a l’objecziun ch’el avess il dretg da far, la po il garant tuttina far valair. Sch’il garant renunzia da far valair objecziuns dal debitur principal, perda el ses regress mo uschenavant ch’el avess pudì sa deliberar cun agid da questas objecziuns, sch’el n’è betg en cas da cumprovar ch’el na las haja betg enconuschidas senza culpa da sia vart. Il garant ch’è stà bun per in debit betg accusabel che deriva d’in gieu u d’ina scumessa ha il dretg, er sch’el ha enconuschì questa mancanza, da far las medemas objecziuns sco il debitur principal.
