Misjoinder and Nonjoinder of

Parties Misjoinder of parties is not a ground for dismissing an action. On motion or on its own, the court may at any time, on just terms, add or RCFC 20, 21, 22 and 23 32 drop a party. The court may also sever any claim against a party. (As revised and reissued May 1, 2002; as amended Nov. 3, 2008.) Rules Committee Notes 2002 Revision The last sentence of the former rule, “To add plaintiffs, see RCFC 20(a)(1)–(2),” was eliminated to more closely conform the rule to FRCP 21. 2008 Amendment The language of RCFC 21 has been amended to conform to the general restyling of the FRCP.
