Joint and several liability is a liability that is entered into as a group, on the understanding that if any of the group fail in their undertaking the liability must be shared by the remainder. Thus if two people enter into a joint and several guarantee for a bank loan, if one becomes bankrupt the other is liable for repayment of the whole loan. Research Joint and Several Liability
