Where two or more claims are to be made by a single action, such action like joint suit and joinder of claims may be filed with the court which shall have jurisdiction over one of those claims pursuant to the jurisdictional provisions in Taiwanese code of civil procedure. The purpose of these provisions is to avoid a serious risk of inconsistent judgments which might result if the plaintiff had to sue the defendants separately in different forum. These rules permit a plaintiff to sue multiple defendants in the same national court even if some of the co-defendants are not habitually resident in that state, if we also applied these rules to international civil and commercial litigations. However, these rules provide a great convenience and advantage to both the plaintiff and the court, but impose a great burden to foreign defendants.In order to avoid manipulation of jurisdictional requirements by the plaintiff, such as bringing suit against an unrelated defendant in order to gain jurisdiction in a favorable forum, certain conditions must be imposed. After compare the conditions imposed in Japanese law and in the case-law of the European Court of Justice on Brussels Convention/Regulation I Article 6(1), this article examines some recent Taiwanese judgments in related. This article argues that the closed connection between claims should be imposed not only to the joint suit against multiple defendants but also to the joinder claims in international litigations in civil and commercial matters.
