co-party defendant litigation; co-party defendants in a lawsuit

Explanation:
Taña has the right idea, and as Richard explained, they do not necessarily have to be codefendants. However, "pasivo" means they are defendants, and thus "co-party defendants".

My pleasure, Layla. Initially I got the answer wrong when I put "codefendants" and Taña had the right idea as clearly explained by Richard. Then I was able to rephrase it. It was a group effort; too bad we can't slit up the points. Thanks once again, Layla - Mike :)

Romanian law does not expressly provide for class proceedings. It
is, however, possible for individual natural persons or legal entities,
each suffering individual damages, to act together as plaintiffs or
defendants, combining their claims into one single claim, provided
that the matter of controversy is a common right or obligation or that
their rights and obligations derive from the same cause. Such cases
are defined under Romanian law as ‘litis consortium’. In such cases,
each of the parties will be awarded damages individually on the basis
of actual losses incurred.

"LITISCONSORCIO PASIVO NECESARIO. Presupone el litis consorcio pasivo necesario una inidoneidad jurídica del demandado para ser único sujeto pasivo de la relación jurídico material deducida, lo que conlleva una defectuosa constitución de la relación jurídica procesal ya que tenía que haberse demandado a otra u otras personas a las que también va a afectar directamente la sentencia que decida la controversia. Este defecto lítisconsorcial pasivo necesario es subsanable no debiendo el órgano jurisdiccional limitarse a dictar sentencia acogiendo la ""exceptium plurium consortium"" con absolución en la instancia, sino que, por el contrario, debe completarse la relación jurídica procesal trayendo al juicio a todas aquellas personas a las que debería haberse demandado para que estuviera completa la relación jurídica procesal.

Nelida Kreer: I had not read Richard's comments when I gave my agree to Mike. Fully agree with Richard, Layla will have to see how she phrases it, but it would seem that this is a case of procedural omission where not all the concerned parties were notified. Saludos.

RichardDeegan: Necessary parties/litigants. Not necessarily codefendants. Could be other plaintiffs without which a case may not proceed (class action, parent/ custodian for a minor plaintiff, GAL, adminsitrator for a bankrupt plaintiff, etc etc

joinder of defendants

Explanation:
"litisconsorcio" (generally one word rather than two) should not be confused with a "consortium", or is it the "litigation". It means that you cite all the parties to a dispute, be they complainants (i.e. "litisconsorcio activo" -- like a class action) or defendants ("litisconsorcio pasivo").
In this case, the law requires that the plaintiff cite all defendants in its claim (all the shareholders of WZ). I understand the claim is rejected on the grounds that it failed to address all the potential defendants.
