REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article 45, §
1, § 14, the fifth clause of the first sentence of §
5, and the second, third, and fourth clauses of § 15.

In subsection (b) (1) of this section, the former
phrase "out of his presence" is deleted as obsolete.

In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to §
4-205(b) of this title is new language added for
clarity.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the former
clause "no judgment or decree shall pass against the
husband or his estate" is deleted as included in the
language "against the wife only".

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the term
"individually" is new language added for clarity.

Also in subsection (c)(2) of this section, the term
"property" is substituted for the former term "estate"
to conform to the language used throughout this
subtitle.

Also in subsection (c)(2) of this section, the former
term "held" is deleted as included in the term
"owned".

In subsection (d)(1) of this section, "real and
personal", which formerly modified "property", is
deleted as unnecessary.

In subsection (d)(2)(i) of this section, "present" is
substituted for the former word "subsisting" to
conform to the language used in Title 15, Subtitle 2
of the Commercial Law Article.
