samskyldner ansvar
joint and several surety liability


Explanation:
Including the ansvar bit and, though comparing with another lingo is a fraught business, cf. Gesamtschuldner in DE: jointly AND severally liable debtor.

Per's version does square with R. Craig's Kontrakstrett entry at p. 97 = co-debtor. But I have doubts about such a neat and pruned solution for a 'co-debtor liable amount'.

Tentative weblink trans: 'stood joint and several surety = guarantor'.





Example sentence(s):
  • Datasnakken, Donor egg/sæd, Dåp/navnefest, English forum .... Personlig ville jeg aldri *stått som samskyldner* på et lån dersom jeg ikke eide eiendommen. ...
