The payer by intervention acquires the rights resulting from the bill of exchange against the person for whom he has paid and against those who are bound vis-à-vis the latter by virtue of the bill of exchange. However, he may not endorse the bill of exchange again.
Endorsers subsequent to the signatory for whom payment has been made are discharged.
In the event of competition for payment by intervention, the one who effects the most discharge is preferred. He who knowingly intervenes contrary to this rule loses his recourse against those who would have been released.
