Crossclaim Showdown: Boy George, Solange, and Beyonce

I don’t even if care if I get a C… I’m having too much fun…

Note: Solange suing Boy George back = counterclaim whereas Solange suing Beyonce is a cross-claim.

Correction: Also, Solange wants Beyonce to indemnify her* not to indemnify Beyonce.

  • You can bring unrelated claims or counterclaims 13(b)/rule 18… as in the Lindsay Lohan hypo.
  • You may not bring unrelated crossclaims (as Solange originally tried to do above.)
  • A crossclaim has to be derivative – “If I owe the person suing me. You owe me.”

    Actually, Solange’s claim against Beyonce is impleader, not crossclaim. Impleader is for derivative liability from an otherwise uninvolved party. Crossclaim is between coparties (plaintiff against plaintiff or defendant against defendant).

    Sorry to rain on your otherwise excellently trashy parade.
