    Correal (kǫ̆rī·ăl), a. Roman Law. [f. L. correus, conreus (f. cor-, con- together + reus one under obligation) + -al.] Under joint obligation: applied to an obligation in which the parties are severally liable. [¶] 1875 Poste Gaius iii. Comm. (ed. 2) 398 A second difference between Correality and Solidarity consists in the fact that in Solidarity the guarantor who pays the whole has regressus against his co-guarantors, that is to say, has a power of recovering from them contribution of their share of the debt: whereas the Correal debtor who pays has no regressus or right to contribution.
