Original Turkish text

MADDE 167 · 1. Paylaşım

Aksi kararlaştırılmadıkça veya borçlular arasındaki hukuki ilişkinin niteliğinden anlaşılmadıkça, borçlulardan her biri, alacaklıya yapılan ifadan, birbirlerine karşı eşit paylarla sorumludurlar.

Kendisine düşen paydan fazla ifada bulunan borçlunun, ödediği fazla miktarı diğer borçlulardan isteme hakkı vardır. Bu durumda borçlu, her bir borçluya ancak payı oranında rücu edebilir.

Borçlulardan birinden alınamayan miktarı, diğer borçlular eşit olarak üstlenmekle yükümlüdürler.
