Rule 2133.Indexing of judgments.

This rule decides the name under which each type of partnership judgment is indexed. A judgment against a partnership is indexed against the partnership in its firm name. A judgment against the liquidator of a dissolved partnership is indexed twice: against the liquidator, as liquidator of the partnership, and against the partnership in its firm name. A judgment against an individual partner is indexed against that partner as an individual.

The indexing lines up with what each judgment reaches. Under Rule 2132, a judgment against a partnership sued in its firm name supports execution on partnership property only, while a judgment against partners sued by name can also reach the individual property of a partner named as a party. The firm-name and liquidator styles come from Rules 2127 and 2128.
