What happens if an obligee discharges one of the jointly liable obligors from the obligation or from joint liability?
If an obligee discharges one of the jointly liable obligors, the remaining obligors may have recourse against that obligor for his contribution in the share of any of them who is bankrupt, unless the obligee has discharged him from all liability for the obligation. In such a case, the obligee becomes responsible for the proportion of the discharged obligor in the share of the bankrupt.
