Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower courts' order permitting joinder of 193 plaintiffs under §209 of the Civil Practice Act, holding that the causes of action share substantial common questions of law and arise from a series of related transactions, and that the statute does not violate the constitutional right to a jury trial.
