Legal Definitions - subsidiarie

Definition: Subsidiarie is a legal term used in Scots law, which means "subsidiarily".

Example: If a company goes bankrupt, its creditors may seek payment from its subsidiaries, but only subsidiarily, meaning that the subsidiaries are only liable for the debts if the parent company cannot pay them.

This example illustrates how the term "subsidiarie" is used in Scots law to describe the secondary or subsidiary liability of a company's subsidiaries.
