Rule 1657. Joinder of Causes of Action Prohibited

    No other cause of action may be joined with an action to obtain judgment on a claim except that where the improvement is located in more than one county and claims have been filed in more than one of said counties the plaintiff may join the claims in a single action.

    Note: Under Section 306(a) of the Mechanics' Lien Law of 1963, 49 P.S. § 1306(a), the claimant may join in one mechanics' lien claims against the same property arising from work done under separate contracts or against more than one structure if intended to form part of the same plant.
