PLEADING - JOINDER OF PARTIES - SUCCESSIVE CONVERTERS

Authors

Abstract

A chattel mortgagee brought an action for conversion against successive purchasers of mortgaged property, wrongfully sold by the mortgagor. Held, the joinder was improper. Each defendant was guilty of a separate conversion giving rise to a separate cause of action. They cannot be joined as each cause does not affect both defendants. Warren, J., dissented, Northern Finance Corp. v. Midwest Commercial Credit Co. et al. (S. D. 1931) 239 N. W. 242.
