In case of joint,
or joint and several obligors or debtors,
if one or more of them is about to remove outside of the jurisdictional
limits of this State, taking their property with them, leaving one or
more co-obligors or co-debtors bound with them for the payment of any
sum of money, or for the delivery of any article of property, or for the
conveyance of land at a certain time, which time has not arrived
at the time of such intended removal, such co-obligor or co-debtor who
remains is entitled, upon application, to relief by ne exeat, to
compel the co-obligor or co-debtor who is about to remove to secure the
payment of his or her part of the sum to be paid, or of the delivery of the
property, or to convey, or to join in the conveyance of the land.
In cases of security, the relief by ne exeat may be granted, on application of
a security, against the principal or co-security, when the obligation or
debt is not yet due, and the principal or co-security is about
removing out of the State.
