Permits a plaintiff to recover directly against a third party defendant found liable to the defendant in certain actions.

New York A11239 amends the civil practice law and rules to allow a plaintiff to recover and collect an unsatisfied judgment or portion of a judgment against a third-party defendant or co-defendant liable for contribution or indemnification. This applies when the plaintiff's judgment remains unsatisfied thirty days after being served on the defendant-judgment debtor, and the defendant-judgment debtor has a cause of action for contribution or indemnification which has not been reduced to judgment.
