Explanation using Example
Imagine three individuals, A, B, and C, who co-own a piece of land. A developer encroaches upon their property, affecting all three co-owners. Under Rule 1 of The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, A, B, and C can join together and file a single lawsuit against the developer since:
- (a) They all have a right to relief arising out of the same act - the encroachment by the developer.
- (b) If they filed separate lawsuits, they would all raise the same legal and factual issues regarding the ownership of the land and the encroachment.
This joint suit would be more efficient, saving the court's time and the plaintiffs' resources.
