Rule 21. Misjoinder and Non-Joinder of Parties
Rule 21. Misjoinder and Non-Joinder of Parties
Misjoinder of parties is not ground for dismissal of an action. Parties may be dropped or added by order of the court on motion of any party or of its own initiative at any stage of the action and on such terms as are just. Any claim against a party may be severed and proceeded with separately.
Rules Committee NoteThe last sentence of the former rule, “To add plaintiffs, see RCFC 20(a)(1)–(2),” was eliminated to more closely conform the rule to FRCP 21.
