Practice question
An uncle sues his niece and sister as genuine owners under the same disputed transaction. The sister demands151 compliance solely because she is his sibling, ignoring the niece’s genuine interest. Which is correct under Moreno?
- The actual stranger party must be considered; the sibling relationship alone does not make the entire suit family-only
- Only the oldest defendant’s relationship matters
- A niece is necessarily a direct descendant of the uncle
- Genuine ownership cannot matter to party status
- The plaintiff must treat every family branch as one legal person
