When a judgment is appealed from, does the judgment need to be joined by all other parties?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Sierra Club v. Hathaway, 579 F.2d 1162 (9th Cir. 1978):
However, when the judgment appealed from does not in a practical sense prejudicially affect the interests of the absent parties, and those who are parties have failed to object to non-joinder in the trial court, the reviewing court will not dismiss an otherwise valid judgment. Provident Bank v. Patterson, 390 U.S. 102, 110-111, 88
