1543. A debtor has the option of performing the obligation in favour of any of the solidary creditors, provided he has not been sued by any of them.
A release from the obligation granted by one of the solidary creditors releases the debtor, but only for the portion of that creditor. The same rule applies to all cases in which the obligation is extinguished otherwise than by payment thereof.
