Where a suit is continued by the legal representative of a party who has died since its institution, the name of such legal representative should appear in the pleading after the name of the deceased and show by a sub-number of the number of the deceased in order to indicate that the party is suing or sued as the legal representative of the deceased. Even if it is customary in the regional language to put the name of the deceased first, in the English translation the name of the party who sues or is sued should be put first. Where it is proposed to continue a suit against the legal representative of a deceased defendant Form No. 6 of Appendix B to Schedule I of the Code should be used.
