Original Turkish text

MADDE 62 · b. İç ilişkide

Tazminatın aynı zarardan sorumlu müteselsil borçlular arasında paylaştırılmasında, bütün durum ve koşullar, özellikle onlardan her birine yüklenebilecek kusurun ağırlığı ve yarattıkları tehlikenin yoğunluğu göz önünde tutulur.

Tazminatın kendi payına düşeninden fazlasını ödeyen kişi, bu fazla ödemesi için, diğer müteselsil sorumlulara karşı rücu hakkına sahip ve zarar görenin haklarına halef olur.
