ORDER 13 : JOINDER OF CAUSES OF ACTION

---

1. Subject to the following Rules of this Order, the plaintiff may unite in the same action several causes of action; but if it appear to the Court or a Judge that any such causes of action cannot be conveniently tried or disposed of together, the Court or Judge may order separate trials of any such causes of action to be had, or may make such other order as may be necessary or expedient for the separate disposal thereof.

2. Claims by a trustee in bankruptcy as such shall not, unless by leave of the Court or a Judge, be joined with any claim by him in any other capacity.

3. Claims by or against an executor or administrator as such may be joined with claims by or against him personally, provided the last-mentioned claims are alleged to arise with reference to the estate in respect of which the plaintiff or defendant sues or is sued as executor or administrator.

4. Claims by plaintiffs jointly may be joined with claims by them or any of them separately against the same defendant.

5. sections 3 and 4 of this Order shall be subject to Rules 1, 6 and 7 thereof.

6. Any defendant alleging that the plaintiff has united in the same action several causes of action which cannot be conveniently disposed of together, may at any time apply to the Court or a Judge for an order confining the action to such of the causes of action as may be conveniently disposed of together.

7. If, on the hearing of such application as in the last preceding Rule mentioned, it shall appear to the Court or a Judge that the causes of action are such as cannot all be conveniently disposed of together, the Court or Judge may order any of such causes of action to be excluded, and consequential amendments to be made, and may make such order as to costs as may be just.
