““ * * * but the title to any property, the subject of the judgment or order sought to be opened, which, by it, or in consequence of it shall have passed to a purchaser in good faith, shall not be affected by any proceedings under this section, nor shall they affect the title of any property sold before judgment under an attachment. * * * ””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The ‘adverse party’ upon whom notice of the filing of an application to open a judgment is required to be served by Title 12 O.S.A. § 176, is the opposing party of record, the opposing litigant, the person seeking to establish a right as against the defendant making the application. The rights of purchasers of property from such adverse party subsequent to the judgment sought to be opened may be determined at any time they are made parties to the proceeding to open the judgment, or their rights may be determined in a subsequent proceeding.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Thomas v. Dreibelbis““The method of bringing H. E. Burns into court was a little unusual in that he was notified of the filing of the petition to vacate the judgment, but he was never made a party to the action by order of court. We believe, however, that Burns submitted himself to the jurisdiction of the court by filing his answer to the petition to vacate the judgment. Any irregularity in failing to make him a party to the lawsuit by order of court and serving of summons upon him has been waived.””
