The intervener was properly joined as 2nd defendant because she asserted a non‑commercial, potentially proprietary interest (claim to title under Chinese succession law and status as landlord) that is capable, even if doubtful, of affecting the subject matter of the adverse possession action; the joinder was not premature because proceedings commenced on issue of the writ; tenancy and rent claims should be determined together to avoid duplicity.
