The Reverse Joinder Card - Can A Defendant Remove Another Co-Defendant?

While many lawyers are familiar with the principle of adding a party to proceedings, few however know that a party can also be removed.

It is even more rare for a defendant to remove a fellow co-defendant - which is precisely what happened in this case.  

Recently, our Alvin Tang and Kang Zhen Leong managed to successfully remove a co-defendant in a suit on the ground that he is no longer a necessary or proper party to the proceeding. By doing so, we applied the principles of joinder in reverse.  

The broad grounds of decision can be accessed below. We act for the 1st Defendant.
