Joinder of Causes of Action

activein force · 2026-01-01 – presentact-effective-date

In any civil action the plaintiff may include in

the complaint both legal and equitable rights

and causes of action, and demand both legal

and equitable remedies; but, if several causes of

action are united in the same complaint, they shall

all be brought to recover, either (1) upon contract,

express or implied, or (2) for injuries, with or without force, to person and property, or either, including a conversion of property to the defendant’s

use, or (3) for injuries to character, or (4) upon

claims to recover real property, with or without

damages for the withholding thereof, and the rents

and profits of the same, or (5) upon claims to

recover personal property specifically, with or

without damages for the withholding thereof, or

(6) claims arising by virtue of a contract or by

operation of law in favor of or against a party in

some representative or fiduciary capacity, or (7)

upon claims, whether in contract or tort or both,

arising out of the same transaction or transactions

connected with the same subject of action. The

several causes of action so united shall all belong

to one of these classes, and, except in an action

for the foreclosure of a mortgage or lien, shall

affect all the parties to the action, and not require

different places of trial, and shall be separately

stated; and, in any case in which several causes

of action are joined in the same complaint, or as

matter of counterclaim or setoff in the answer, if

it appears to the judicial authority that they cannot

all be conveniently heard together, it may order

a separate trial of any such cause of action or

may direct that any one or more of them be

deleted from the complaint or answer. (See General Statutes § 52-97 and annotations.)
