Practice question
A plaintiff seeks to join an ordinary collection cause with a special civil action in one complaint under Rule 2, Section 5. She argues that common parties eliminate every joinder restriction. Which conclusion follows that section?
- The general joinder provision excludes special civil actions and actions governed by special rules; common parties alone do not remove that condition.
- Common parties automatically authorize all joinder.
- Only the complaint's title matters.
- Every special civil action becomes ordinary upon joinder.
- The defendant's silence creates unlimited joinder authority.
