Article 1211. Solidarity may exist although the

creditors and the debtors may not be bound in

the same manner and by the same periods and

conditions. (1140)

Article 1216. The creditor may proceed against

any one of the solidary debtors or some or all

of them simultaneously. The demand made

against one of them shall not be an obstacle to

those which may subsequently be directed

against the others, so long as the debt has not

been fully collected. (1144a)

Article 1217. Payment made by one of the

solidary debtors extinguishes the obligation. If

two or more solidary debtors offer to pay, the

creditor may choose which offer to accept.
