Georgia § 9-11-18 - Joinder of claims and remedies.

§ 9-11-18. Joinder of claims and remedies.

Joinder of claims. A party asserting a claim to relief as an original claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim may join, either as independent or as alternate claims, as many claims, legal or equitable, as he has against an opposing party. Joinder of remedies; fraudulent conveyances. Whenever a claim is one heretofore cognizable only after another claim has been prosecuted to a conclusion, the two claims may be joined in a single action; but the court shall grant relief in that action only in accordance with the relative substantive rights of the parties. In particular, a plaintiff may state a claim for money and a claim to have set aside a conveyance fraudulent as to him without first having obtained a judgment establishing the claim for money. (Ga. L. 1966, p. 609, § 18; Ga. L. 1968, p. 1104, § 7.) U.S. Code. - For provisions of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 18, see 28 U.S.C.
