§12A-3-119.
NOTICE OF RIGHT TO DEFEND ACTION
In an action for breach of an obligation for which a third person is
answerable over pursuant to this article or Article 4 of this title,
the defendant may give the third person written notice of the
litigation, and the person notified may then give similar notice to
any other person who is answerable over. If the notice states (i) that
the person notified may come in and defend and (ii) that failure to do
so will bind the person notified in an action later brought by the
person giving the notice as to any determination of fact common to the
two litigations, the person notified is so bound unless after
seasonable receipt of the notice the person notified does come in and
defend.
