The court exercised its discretion under O.15 r.6 and MCR r121(2) to dismiss the joinder application because V lacked a necessary interest in the Family Court leave application, joinder was not necessary, just or convenient, and discovery/completeness disputes are for the High Court to police; permitting joinder would expand scope and risk multiplicity while existing remedies (specific discovery in the High Court) protect V's interests.
