If he has not been so joined, the court shall order that he be made a party. If he should join as a plaintiff but refuses to do so, he may be made a defendant, or, in a proper case, an involuntary plaintiff.       (b) Determination by Court Whenever Joinder Not Feasible.  If a person as described in subdivision (a)(1)‑(2) hereof cannot be made a party, the court shall determine whether in equity and good conscience the action should proceed among the parties before it, or should be dismissed, the absent person being thus regarded as indispensable. The factors to be considered by the court include: first, to what extent a judgment rendered in the person’s absence might be prejudicial to him or those already parties; second, the extent to which, by protective provisions in the judgment, by the shaping of relief, or other measures, the prejudice can be lessened or avoided; third, whether a judgment rendered in the person’s absence will be adequate; fourth, whether the plaintiff will have an adequate remedy if the action is dismissed for nonjoinder.       (c) Pleading Reasons for Nonjoinder.  A pleading asserting a claim for relief shall state the names, if known to the pleader, of any persons as described in subdivision (a)(1)—(2) hereof who are not joined, and the reasons why they are not joined.       (d) Exception of Class Actions.  This rule is subject to the provisions of Rule 23. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Any rule can change at any time - This rule may have been amended *** Index | Home Contact David Matheny, Esq. for a free consultation.
