253.1. Where the parties bring an action by way of a joint suit and are represented by the same attorney, the court may adjourn the hearing of the action until each party has appeared in person or appointed a new attorney, if it considers that the action raises genuine problems and that, owing to the mode of representation, it will not be possible for justice to be done.
