Abrahamovitz v. Berens

The motion judge erred by treating the respondents as able to assert a limitations defense on behalf of the defendants; because the defendants never pleaded a limitations defence and had acted to invite and accommodate the Estate's claim, the Estate's claim against the defendants was not barred for purposes of adding the Estate as a necessary party under r.5.03(1); accordingly the appeal is allowed and the Estate is to be added as a party.

  • Necessary party joinder
  • Limitations act discoverability
  • Addition of parties under r.5.03
  • Interpleader
  • Pleading of limitations defence
  • Doctrine of special circumstances
