SEC. 11-102. JUDGMENT AGAINST ONE OR SORE PARTNERS OR
OBLIGORS.

(A)   IN GENERAL.

A JUDGMENT AGAINST LESS THAN ALL PARTNERS OR
PERSONS JOINTLY LIABLE ON A CONTRACT, AGREEMENT,
INSTRUMENT, OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION DOES NOT
EXTINGUISH OR MERGE THE CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST ANY
OTHER PARTNER OR PERSON JOINTLY LIABLE BUT NOT BOUND
BY THE JUDGMENT.

(B)    PARTNERS OR JOINT OBLIGORS NOT BOUND BY
JUDGMENT MAY BE SUED.

IF THE DEBT IS NOT     COMPLETELY SATISFIED,      ANY

PARTNER OR PERSON JOINTLY   LIABLE BUT NOT BOUND BY   THE

JUDGMENT MAY BE SUED AS IF   HIS ORIGINAL LIABILITY     HAD
BEEN JOINT AND SEVERAL.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from Art. 50, §6. The phrase
"contract, agreement, instrument, or any
other obligation" is substituted for "bill,
bond, convenant, promissory note, bill of
exchange, contract or agreement". Bills,
single or obligatory, are an obsolete species
of promissory notes under seal. Formerly,
the seal destroyed the negotiability of these
instruments, however, this is not so today;
see Art. 95B, §§ 2-203 and 3-113. The term
"instrument" is a general tern in the UCC and
embraces a bill of exchange and promissory
note; see Art. 95b, §3-102 (1) (e). The term
"contract" embraces a bond.
