What is a joinder?

A joinder is a legal term used in civil procedure in Idaho. It occurs when two or more parties join together to become a single party in a lawsuit or other legal proceedings. Joinder happens when there is a common interest between two or more parties in a civil action, or when the court decides that it is appropriate for the parties to have their claims heard together. Joinder can impact how a trial or other proceedings is conducted. The parties who are joined together in a joinder are referred to as ‘co-parties’, and their claims are heard as one unit. This means that all the parties involved must work together, as well as present their cases to the court at the same time. It also means that the court is able to consider all of the issues together, and make rulings on the various parties’ claims. Joinder can be beneficial for parties involved as it can allow a quicker resolution of their claims. However, joinder can also be complicated, as all of the parties must present their cases before all of the issues can be heard. Additionally, joinder can make it difficult for a court to fairly consider each party’s individual claims, as they must be heard alongside the claims of other parties.
