California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 14 — Of Miscellaneous Provisions, Chapter 1 — Proceedings Against Joint Debtors, Section 992

Upon such summons, the defendant may answer within the time specified therein, denying the judgment, or setting up any defense which may have arisen subsequently; or he may deny his liability on the obligation upon which the judgment was recovered, by reason of any defense existing at the commencement of the action.

Notes

Allows a defendant responding to the specified postjudgment summons to deny the judgment, assert defenses arising after judgment, or deny liability on the underlying obligation based on a defense that existed when the original action began. The answer may therefore challenge both later developments and original liability within the stated categories.
