§ 25-1414.Revivor as to plaintiff; time; limitation; revivor as to both parties.

Section 25-1414 mirrors § 25-1413 from the plaintiff’s side. An order reviving an action in the names of the representatives or successor of a deceased plaintiff may be made forthwith — without needing to wait for any particular event. But once one year has passed from the time that order might first have been made, it cannot be made without the consent of the defendant.

The section then addresses a more complicated scenario: what if the defendant also dies, or loses status as personal representative, while all this is happening? In that case, the order reviving the action on both sides — reviving in the names of the plaintiff’s successors and the defendant’s successors together — may be made within the period set out in § 25-1413, the one-year measure that section establishes for revivor against a defendant’s representatives.

Taken together with § 25-1413, this section establishes a consistent one-year outer boundary across Article 14’s revivor scheme, whether the party who died was the plaintiff, the defendant, or both. Inside that year, the ordinary motion, order, and service procedure of §§ 25-1406 through 25-1409 governs without needing anyone’s special consent. Outside it, consent from the opposing side becomes a precondition.
