A co-principal debtor is an individual or entity that shares equal responsibility for repaying a debt alongside one or more other debtors. In a co-principal debtor arrangement, all parties are jointly liable, meaning that creditors can pursue any one of the co-debtors for the full amount of the debt. This arrangement is often seen in partnerships or joint ventures, where multiple parties are involved in the obligation. Each co-principal debtor has the right to seek contribution from the others for their share of the debt if one debtor pays more than their proportionate share.
