    This document outlines the steps for joining claims according to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. It explains that a party may join additional claims against an opposing party once a valid claim is made under any FRCP. It also details that compulsory counterclaims must be asserted if they arise from the same transaction and do not require adding another party, while permissive counterclaims can be any claims not compulsory. Crossclaims may be made against coparties if they arise from the same transaction as the original action.

    JOINDER OF CLAIMS STEP-BY-STEP

    1) R.18 Joinder of Claims


    a) R.18(a) Test: Party seeking relief from an opposing party may join with his original claim any additional claims he has against the opposing party. b) Notes: Kicks in once a valid claim is made (under any FRCP). Opposing parties exist when a claim is made by one against the other, even if theyre on the same side of the v. (crossclaim).

    2) R.13 Compulsory Counterclaims


    a) R.13(a) Test 1: Does the counterclaim arise out of the same transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the opposing partys claim? b) R.13(a) Test 2: The counterclaim does not require adding a party that the court cant assert jurisdiction over. c) Notes: Must assert counterclaim as soon as first claim is made if it fits tests.

    3) R.13 Permissive Counterclaims


    a) R.13(b) Test: Pleading may state any claim against an opposing party that is not compulsory. b) Notes: These claims could be separate actions as well.

    4) R.13 Crossclaims
    a) R.13(g) Test: Pleading may state as crossclaim any claim by one party against a coparty if the claim arises out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the original action/counterclaim. b) Notes: Crossclaim may be for contribution/indemnification.
