misjoinder of causes of action:
The impropriety in joining in one complaint, declaration, or petition distinct causes of action which should not be joined because of the want of consistency between them, because they do not affect all defendants named in the action, because they do not arise out of the same transaction, or because of other circumstance precluding joinder under the practice in the particular jurisdiction. 1 Am J2d Actions §§ 100 et seq.
A term sometimes used to characterize the improper blending of two or more causes of action in one count of a complaint declaration, or petition. 41 Am J1st Pl § 107. [2]
