What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
When filing a small claim action for multiple plaintiffs up to the amount allowable by law per plaintiff against same defendant for automobiles accidents, how do i file small claims court paying one filing fee only ? Have been told, it can be done by case law, i believe it is Cobra Vs u-right drive autos Inc (1930) can someon enlight me on that?
Please refer to Ca Civil code of Procedures # 378:
(a) All persons may join in one action as plaintiffs if:
(1) They assert any right to relief jointly, severally, or in the
alternative, in respect of or arising out of the same transaction,
occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences and if any
question of law or fact common to all these persons will arise in the
action; or
(2) They have a claim, right, or interest adverse to the defendant
in the property or controversy which is the subject of the action.
(b) It is not necessary that each plaintiff be interested as to
every cause of action or as to all relief prayed for. Judgment may
be given for one or more of the plaintiffs according to their
respective right to relief.
