Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dora has the right to seek proportionate payments from Ed and Fran through the doctrine of contribution, which allows co-sureties to share the burden of a debt proportionate to their share of the obligation. This means that if Dora paid more than her share, she can seek reimbursement from the other co-sureties to ensure that each party pays their fair share of the debt. Redemption is when the debtor repays the debt to the creditor, reimbursement is when one party is reimbursed for expenses paid on behalf of another, and subrogation is when one party is substituted for another in terms of their rights and obligations. None of these concepts apply in this scenario.
