The defendant\nin the subsequent action may raise any defenses or counterclaims that he\nmight have raised in the original action if the summons had been served\non him when it was first served on a co-obligor, and may raise\nobjections to the original judgment, and defenses or counterclaims that\nhave arisen since it was entered.\n
