Haddock, 62 N.M. 391 , 310 P.2d 1045 , there can be no question that in this jurisdiction an insurer that has paid its insured for a loss, in whole or in part, is a necessary and indispensable party to an action to recover the amounts paid from a third party allegedly responsible therefor ^ ^ ^”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The statute quoted above is to our minds clear and unambiguous.
