`1`Fide-Jussor `2` "Legal Lexicon":
FIDE-JUSSOR - One who becomes security for the debt of another, promising to pay it in case the principal does not do so. He differs from co-obligor in that the latter is equally bound to a debtor with his principal, while the former is not liable till the principal has failed to fulfill his engagement. The obligation of the fide-jussor was an accessory contract for, if the principal obligation was not previously contracted, his engagement then took the name of mandate. --b-- |
