Subject
The study examines the limits and conditions for requesting joinder of a third defendant under Article 113/1 in disputes arising from financial leasing. Under Article 14 of the Financial Leasing law, the financial lessee is not the owner during the lease term but holds a right of use and bears responsibility for damages resulting from possession or use. Accordingly, a claimant’s suit against the owner (the bank) to register the lease on the property records lacks legal basis when the liability at issue arises from the lessee’s possession.
Summary
- A joinder request presumes the original suit was properly brought; adding the supplier’s heirs while they were not originally sued and the lessor was sued instead amounts to correcting the parties, which cannot be effected by simply joining a third party. - The person to be joined must be one who could have been sued alongside the parties at the time the action was filed — i.e., someone properly joineable at filing, not a substitute for an original party. - There must be a legal or factual nexus between the pending claim and the joinder request; absence of such connection removes the legal basis for permitting joinder.
Practical significance
- Claimants should pursue relief against the proper party according to financial leasing rules (notably the lessee’s liability for damages) rather than attempting to correct party designation by post hoc joinder. - Courts should deny joinder where the original action lacks a proper defendant or where the required nexus between the claim and the proposed joinee is missing.
