English translation of the principle

The insurer under compulsory motor vehicle accident insurance and the responsible third party. Their obligation concerns the same debt despite its different sources. The effect thereof. Their concurrent liability in solidum for its payment. - Concurrent liability in solidum of debtors accords with their joint and several liability in giving the creditor the right to claim the entire debt from all of them or any one of them. The effect thereof. A judgment imposing concurrent liability in solidum does not constitute an award of relief not sought by the litigants. The judgment's departure from this by rejecting the request for joint and several liability and not granting the request for concurrent liability in solidum. Vitiates it by contravention of the law and necessitates its cassation. - 259 - Obligation

المؤمن في التأمين الإجباري عن حوادث السيارات والغير المسئول. التزامهما يكون بنفس الدين رغم اختلاف مصدره. أثر ذلك. تضاممهما في الوفاء به. - تضامم المدينين يتفق مع تضامنهم في تخويل الدائن الحق في مطالبتهم جميعاً أو أحدهم بكل الدين. أثر ذلك. القضاء بالتضامم لا يعد قضاءً بما لم يطلبه الخصوم. مخالفة الحكم ذلك برفضه طلب التضامن وعدم إجابته طلب التضامم. يعيبه بمخالفة القانون وتوجب تمييزه. - ٢٥٩ - التزام
