Practice question
Spouses are jointly sued over an alleged common obligation. The server reaches only the husband. Counsel argues that proof of a shared debt both establishes the wife’s liability and conclusively cures absence of service on her. Which is best?
- An alleged common debt proves every service element
- The husband is automatically an unlimited litigation agent
- The substantive obligation and valid service are separate inquiries; joint allegations do not dispense with the wife’s required process
- The court may disregard Section11 whenever money is claimed
- Any debt allegation is a voluntary appearance by both
Legal references
- Rule14 Section11: https://lawphil.net/courts/rules/am_19-10-20-sc_2019.html
