If one of the joint-debtors cannot reimburse his share in the prestation, the deficiency shall be borne pro rata by the other debtors, including the debtor entitled to claim the reimbursement, but if the impossibility to reimburse is due to the negligence of the debtor entitled to claim, he shall not claim the other debtors to bear their shares.In the case of the preceding paragraph, if one of those other debtors has been released from his own share in the obligation, he shall still be, however, in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, responsible for his share in the deficiency.

連帶債務人中之一人，不能償還其分擔額者，其不能償還之部分，由求償權人與他債務人按照比例分擔之。
但其不能償還，係由求償權人之過失所致者，不得對於他債務人請求其分擔。
前項情形，他債務人中之一人應分擔之部分已免責者，仍應依前項比例分擔之規定，負其責任。
