(1949 Rev., S. 8338; P.A. 82-160, S. 257.) History: P.A. 82-160 rephrased the section. Cited. 22 C. 67. Where defendants are jointly and severally liable and one dies, proper method is to suggest death on record and proceed with action. 91 C. 348. Cited. 46 CA 150. In foreclosure action in which both defendant and decedent were named, this section, rather than Sec. 52-599 or 52-325, applies. 165 CA 144. Cited. 5 Conn. Cir. Ct. 122.
