China United was joined as the 6th Defendant under the Chabra jurisdiction because it was a necessary and relevant party given evidence of Lu's control and the disputed factual issues; the court allowed amendments to plead a s213(2)(b) SFO claim because relief under s213 is restorative and substantive (not merely recovery of a sum) so the 12‑year limitation period under s4(3) LO applies and the proposed amendments were not statute‑barred.
