agreement between X, Y, and Z. on the due date of the obligation, has W the right to
demand the full payment of ₱30,000 from Z alone?

court but only against C. Has C the right to demand that A and B be also included as party
defendants?
ANSWERS:
1. No. W don’t have the right to demand the full payment of ₱30,000 to Z alone because
according to Article 1207, if the obligation does not state solidarity, then it is a joint
obligation. And if it is a joint obligation, Z is only liable up to his proportionate share of
₱10,000.
(c) Suppose Z turns out to be insolvent, how much can X collect from Y?
- If Z becomes insolvent. X can collect from Y which is his share plus half of Z’s
share, which is P15,000.
5. According to Art. 1221, as far as D is concerned, A, B and C are all liable for the price of
the printing equipment as well as damages. A and B can recover from C since it was through
his fault that the object was destroyed. If C paid for the price and damages, he cannot ask for
reimbursement from A or B.
