Article 417

Where a decree, or if a decree has been issued jointly in favor of two or more persons, is transferred by assignment in writing or by operation of law, the transferee may apply for execution of the decree to the court that issued it.

Subject to the provisions of sub-Articles (3) and (4), the decree may then be executed in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as if the application were made by such decree-holder.

Where the decree, or such interest as aforesaid, has been transferred by assignment, notice of such application shall be given to the transferor and the judgment-debtor, and the judgment shall not be executed until the court has heard their objections, if any, to its execution.

Where a decree for the payment of money against two or more persons has been transferred to one of them, the transferee judgment-debtor cannot execute against the other judgment-debtor or debtors.
