§ 7435. Joint and several debtors. When the action is against two or more defendants, and the summons is served on one or more, but not on all of them the plaintiff may proceed as follows:

1. If the action is against defendants jointly indebted upon contract he may proceed against the defendant served, unless the court otherwise directs; and if he recovers judgment, it may be entered against all the defendants thus jointly indebted so far only as that it may be enforced against the joint property of all and the separate property of the defendant's served, and if they are subject to arrest, against the persons of the defendant served; or,

2. If the action is against defendant severally liable, he may proceed against the defendant served in the same manner as if they were the only defendant.

3. If all the defendants have been served, judgment may be taken against any or either of them severally, when the plaintiff would be entitled to judgment against such defendant or defendants, if the action had been against them or any of them alone.

4. If the name of one or more partner shall for any cause have been omitted in any action, in which judgment shall have passed against the defendants named in the summons, and such omission shall not have been pleaded in such action, the plaintiff in case the judgment therein shall remain unsatisfied may be action recover of such partner separately upon proving his joint liability, notwithstanding he may not have been named in the original action; but the plaintiff shall have satisfaction of only one judgment rendered for the same cause of action.
