The application to join Mr Ressels as a plaintiff was dismissed because he failed to satisfy High Court Rules r 4.56(1)(b)(i) or (ii); he did not demonstrate that his legal rights or liabilities in respect of the subject matter of the proceeding would be directly affected by the outcome, and r 1.2/1.6 cannot be used to override the specific joinder requirements of r 4.56.
