  1. Before the collection suit filed by B (bank), creditor, against the joint and solidary debtors could be decided, A, one of the debtors dies. After having been informed of the death, the court issued an order dismissing the case, citing Section 6, Rule 86 of the Rules of Court which provides: “Solidary obligation of decedent. — Where the obligation of the decedent is solidary with another debtor, the claim shall be filed against the decedent as if he were the only debtor, without prejudice to the right of the estate to recover contribution from the other debtor. In a joint obligation of the decedent, the claim shall be confined to the portion belonging to him.” Is the dismissal of the case correct? Explain.
