In his recent decision in the case of
Liu v. Pi Delta Psi Fraternity, No. 3028-CV-2015 (C.P. Monroe Co. Nov. 2,
2016 Zulick, J.), Judge Arthur Zulick of the Monroe County Court of Common
Pleas allowed the late joinder of an Additional Defendant over the objection of
the Plaintiff.

The court allowed this joinder despite the passage of several
months in this wrongful death and negligence case.
The court found the interest of judicial
economy would be advanced by allowing the late joinder particularly where the
case was still in discovery and a volume of information on the claims presented had been secured from
the companion criminal cases.
Accordingly, an original Defendant’s Motion to File a
Joinder Complaint was granted.
