Article 113

Where a third party duly summoned to appear fails without sufficient cause to appear for the purpose of disputing the plaintiff’s claim as against the defendant on whose behalf the summons was issued, or his own liability to the defendant, he shall be deemed to admit the validity of the judgment issued against such defendant and his own liability to contribute or warranty, as the case may be, to the extent claimed by the defendant.

Where judgment is ordered against the defendant, the defendant shall be entitled, after satisfying such judgment or, on the granting of an application to this effect, before satisfying such judgment, to judgment against the third party to the extent of the contribution or warranty claimed by the defendant.
