334                                            LAWS OF MARYLAND                                [Ch. 2

It should be noted that Art. 50, § 2 requires
a judgment of non-pros if more than one suit
is brought and all defendants reside in the
same county. That section is proposed for
repeal by the subcommittee because the normal
rules of venue and joint and several obligors
cover it.

The provisions dealing with a judgment
against one tort—feasor are not incorporated
in this subtitle because they are part of the
Uniform Contribution Among Joint Tort-Feasors
Act presently contained in Art. 50, subtitle
"Joint Tort-Feasors". This is consistent
with the Commission's policy to keep all
provisions of each uniform act in one title
or subtitle.

SEC. 11-103. CONFESSED JUDGMENTS FOR UNSPECIFIED
AMOUNT.

(A)   JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION FOR UNSPECIFIED AMOUNT
IS INTERLOCUTORY.

A JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION WHERE THE AMOUNT IS NOT
SPECIFIED IN THE JUDGMENT IS INTERLOCUTORY.

(B)   INQUISITION.

IF A JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION FOR AN UNSPECIFIED
AMOUNT HAS BEEN ENTERED, THE COURT SHALL, ON MOTION OF
THE PLAINTIFF, ORDER AN INQUISITION OR EXTEND THE
JUDGMENT AS PROVIDED BY RULE 648.

REVISOR'S NOTE: The section is new language
derived from Art. 26, §19. This section has
been rewritten for the purpose of clarity.
Similar provisions appear in the Md. Rules
and Md. District Rules 645 and 648.
Provisions concerning terms of court are
proposed for deletion because they are not
relevant under modern practice.

SEC. 11-104. DETINUE - JUDGMENT IN ALTERNATIVE.
