openly present in the/this state
The claimant is penalised where it sues out separate actions against defendants "who might have been joined as defendants in the same action". The "might have been joined" includes the proviso that the potential defendants are openly resident within the state, i.e. are not concealed, or in hiding.

: are not concealed or in hiding is the only meaning I can get out of this, but I think it's probably a convoluted way of saying "resident in this state"; no doubt the wording is a hangover from bandit and fugitive days...

: not necessarily "hiding" - maybe just fictively presenting themselves as being located / based elsewhere, out of that State

كانوا (عند بدء الإجراء السابق) منواجدين بصورة علنية داخل حدود الولاية/هذه الولاية
لأنه يتكلم عن أطراف وبالنسبة لكلمة ولاية قد يكون المقصود بها ولاية أو دولة ويُعرف ذلك من سياق الكلام والله أعلم

Discussion
They may appear as being based / registered elsewhere, as operating mainly elsewhere, as being just mere "passing visitors" in that State, doing just some occasional business there, while in fact their real operations are all within that State, and everything out if it is no more than a shell / a facade (to put themselves in a more favorable jurisdiction, or for some other reasons, like making themselves more difficult to get hold of ...)
here are some ideas put forward in the discussion area;
a) person/entity living within the state borders
b) person/entity doing business within the state borders
c) person/entity licensed/registered to do business within the state borders
the answer that was provided, leans toward interpretation of "openly" as "the other open cases" related to the first/original case on the docket .... or so it seems ...
I can't read your Polish question. Has it come up with any useful insights?
