Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Joinder is the act of adding parties to a legal action, either as plaintiffs or defendants. Joinder can also refer to the joining of separate lawsuits into a single lawsuit. This includes the joining of third-party defendants in litigation. Interpleading refers to a procedure in which a third party holds property or funds that are subject to competing claims, and asks the court to determine who has the right to the property or funds. Interlocutory refers to a decision or order issued by a court during the pendency of a case, which is not final and does not dispose of the case. Unity and pro se are unrelated to joinder in litigation.
