one-action rule

Read a random definition: obligatio quasi ex maleficio

A quick definition of one-action rule:

The one-action rule is a law that says if someone owes money and has put up their property as collateral, the creditor must first try to take the property before going after any other assets the debtor may have. This means that the creditor cannot try to collect the debt in multiple ways at the same time.

A more thorough explanation:

The one-action rule is a principle in debtor-creditor law that states that if a debt is secured by real property, the creditor must first foreclose on the collateral before going after the debtor's unsecured assets. This means that the creditor cannot sue the debtor for the debt without first taking legal action to foreclose on the property.

For example, let's say that John borrowed $100,000 from a bank to buy a house. The loan is secured by the house, which means that if John fails to make his payments, the bank can foreclose on the property to recover the debt. However, if John also has a car that is not collateral for the loan, the bank cannot simply sue him for the debt without first foreclosing on the house.

The one-action rule is designed to protect debtors from having their unsecured assets seized without first having the opportunity to address the debt through the foreclosure process. It also ensures that creditors are not able to pursue multiple legal actions against the debtor for the same debt.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
