In legal procedure (both civil and criminal), misjoinder (also known as wrongful joinder) involves the improper inclusion of one or more parties or causes of action within a lawsuit.[1] The two forms of misjoinder are:[2]
Misjoinder of causes of action, or counts: joining several demands to enforce substantive rights of recovery that are distinct and contradictory.
Misjoinder of parties: joining as plaintiffs or defendants persons who have conflicting interests, or who were not involved in the same transaction or event.
