\u00a0D<\/span>o you have to sue all the parties involved in the construction when bringing a legal claim for defects in a home?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No compulsory joinder of defendants <\/strong><\/p>\n

Once a lawsuit has been filed against the parties involved in the construction whom the expert report has identified as \u201cliable\u201d for the defects in the home, it is quite common for the defendants to ask for other parties involved in the construction (architects, quantity surveyors, the building contractor, subcontractors\u2026) to be brought in, by requesting \u201ccompulsory joinder of defendants\u201d (litisconsorcio pasivo necesario). This is because each party considers that it is not responsible and blames the other professionals instead. So, do you have to sue them all?<\/p>\n

The case law of the Supreme Court has resolved this question, denying that it is necessary to sue everyone, on two grounds:<\/p>\n

*On the one hand, the injured party is free to sue whichever party or parties it sees fit, the only drawback being that if, after proceedings have been brought against a particular person, the evidence leads to the conclusion that that person is not liable, they will be acquitted; otherwise, they will be found liable.<\/p>\n

* On the other hand, the reasoning is that, where it is not possible to establish the specific fault of each party involved in the construction of the defective building, the ten-year liability is joint and several, and one of the typical effects of joint and several obligations, under article 1144 of the Civil Code, is that “the creditor may proceed against any of the joint and several debtors or against all of them simultaneously<\/u>“. This approach is reinforced by stating that a judgment declaring joint and several liability and ordering the sole defendant to pay does not prejudge the internal relationship between the jointly and severally liable parties, which will be dealt with as a separate matter between the various obligors<\/u>, under article 1145.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Third-party joinder requested by other defendants. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That said, through the mechanism of \u201cthird-party joinder\u201d (intervenci\u00f3n provocada) permitted by the Civil Procedure Act (LEC) in these cases, the defendants can sometimes force other parties to be brought into the proceedings so that the case is not decided in their absence, since the judgment could affect them. In that case, the claimant may either object to the participation of those other parties involved in the construction, or accept it and extend the lawsuit to include them.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For this reason, claimants are under no obligation to sue \u00a0all of the many parties involved in the works from the outset \u2013 quantity surveyor,\u00a0 subcontractors, suppliers, etc. \u2013 without prejudice to whatever may be decided in the proceedings.<\/p>\n
