Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts When there are several defendants in any cause pending in the
High Court, if any defendant is not served with process and does not
voluntarily appear, the Court may nevertheless entertain the cause and proceed
to hear and determine it between the parties who are properly before the
Court; but the judgment given in the cause shall not conclude or prejudice
other parties who are not regularly served with process and do not voluntarily
submit to the jurisdiction of the Court.
