Respuesta :
Yes, the court have subject-matter jurisdiction over the spouse's claim because the spouse's claim forms part of the same case or controversy as the plaintiff's claim.
What is plaintiff's claim?
The individual who files a lawsuit in court is known as the plaintiff. The party making a claim against another is known as the claimant in civil law matters and is often referred to as the plaintiff. The defendant or responder is the other party in a civil action (the one who responds to the suit).
For the given case-
- The court can exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the spouse's claim, which is a part of the same case or controversy as her husband's claim, even though the court does not have diverse jurisdiction over it since it does not meet the amount-in-controversy criteria.
- Due to the manufacturer's out-of-state location and the fact that his claim exceeds $75,000, the court also has diverse jurisdiction over the plaintiff's claim; the spouse's involvement in the case does not affect the total diversity of the parties.
- Despite having joined the case as a party, the spouse's claim against the defendant manufacturer does not come under the categories of claims that are forbidden from being subject to supplemental jurisdiction.
- Only claims brought by an existing plaintiff against a party added under the permissive joinder rule are subject to the ban on claims related to permissive joinder (Rule 20). This ruling made the spouse a party, not the manufacturer.
