PART III - PARTIES
Section 8. Definitions.
(1) In this Part "plaintiff" inclueds an applicant and "defendant" includes a respondent and "sue" and "defend" shall be construed accordingly.
(2) All persons may be joined as plaintiffs or defendants in one action in or against whom any right to relief in respect of or arising out of the same transaction or series of transactions is alleged to exist, whether jointly, severally or in the alternative, where, if several actions were brought, any common question of law or fact would arise:
Provided that, if it appears to the Court that any joinder may embarrass any defendant or delay the trial or be otherwise inconvenient, the Court may, either on the application of the defendant or of its own motion, order separate trials or make such other order as it thinks fit.
(3) Judgment may be given without any amendment for any plaintiff for the relief to which he is entitled, or against such one or more of the defendants as may be found liable according to their respective liabilities.
