(1) If a defendant makes a cross-claim for contribution or indemnity in respect of a claim made against the defendant in the proceedings, judgment on the cross-claim--(a) is not to be entered except by leave of the court, and(b) is not to be enforced until any judgment in the proceedings against the defendant has been satisfied.
