How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- describing condominium association’s authority to sue on behalf of its members as “capacity to sue”
- after finding plaintiff is not a real party in interest, trial court must allow reasonable time for joinder or substitution of real party in interest before dismissing action
- even if not a real party in interest, a party may have the capacity to sue upon demonstrating a right to possession of the property claimed to have been damaged
- although condo association had capacity to sue on behalf of condo 10 owners for nuisance, it lacked standing to do so because it was not the real party in interest where any recovery belonged to the individual condo owners
