As amended through October 31, 2024
Rule 18 - Joinder Of Claims And Remedies(a)Joinder of Claims. A party asserting a claim to relief as an original claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim, may join, either as independent or as alternate claims, as many claims either legal or equitable or both as the party has against an opposing party.(b)Joinder of Remedies-Fraudulent Conveyances. Whenever a claim is one heretofore cognizable only after another claim has been prosecuted to a conclusion, the two claims may be joined in a single action; but the court shall grant relief in that action only in accordance with the relative substantive rights of the parties. In particular, a plaintiff may state a claim for money and a claim to have set aside a conveyance fraudulent as to that plaintiff, without first having obtained a judgment establishing the claim for money.Adopted by SCO 5 October 9, 1959; amended by SCO 258 effective November 15, 1976; and by SCO 1153 effective July 15, 1994
