Joinder of causes of action
Joinder of causes of action, coupling two or more matters in the same suit or proceeding.Under the (English) C.L.P. Act, 1852, s. 41, causes of action, of whatever kind, provided they were by and against the same parties and in the same rights, might be joined in the same suit; but this did not extend to repelling or ejectment; and where two or more of the causes of action so joined were local, and arose indifferent counties, the venue might be laid in either of such counties, but the court or a judge had power to prevent the trial of different causes of action together if such trial wound be inexpedient, and in such case such court or judge might order separate records to be made up, and separate trials to be had.

Confusion of boundaries
Confusion of boundaries, was a jurisdiction of equity, concurrent with the Common Law. The Civil Law was far more provident than ours upon the subject of boundaries. It considered that there was a tacit agreement or duty between adjacent proprietors to keep up and preserve the boundaries between their respective estates, and it enabled all persons having an interest to bring a suit to have the boundaries between them settled; and this, whether they were tenants for years, usufructuar-ies, mortgagees, or proprietors. The action was called actio finium regundorum; and if the possession were also in dispute, that might be ascertained and fixed in the same suit, and indeed was incident to it. Equity adopts this general rule, not to entertain jurisdiction in cases of confusion of boundaries upon the ground that the boundaries are in controversy, but to require that there should be some equity super induced by the act of the parties; such as some particular circumstances of fraud, or some co...
Right of suit and right of appeal
Right of suit and right of appeal, there is an inherent right in every person to bring a suit of a civil nature and unless the suit is barred by statute one may, at one's peril, bring a suit of one's choice. It is no answer to a suit, howsoever frivolous to claim, that the law confers no such right to sue. A suit for its maintainability requires no authority of law and it is enough that no statute bars the suit. But the position in regard to appeals is quite the opposite. The right of appeal inheres in no one and therefore an appeal for its maintainability must have the clear authority of law. That explains why the right of appeal is described as a creature of statute, Ganga Bai v. Vijay Kumar, AIR 1974 SC 1126: (1974) 2 SCC 393: (1974) 3 SCR 882....
Final decree or judgment
Final decree or judgment, a conclusive decision of the Court, as distinguished from interlocutory. An order upon an undertaking to lodge costs in Court is not a final order under the (English) Bankruptcy Act, 1914, ss. 1, 4; Re a Debtor, (1929) 2 Ch 146. See INTERLOCUTORY.As a result of the further inquiries conducted pursuant to the preliminary decree, the rights of the parties are fully determined and a decree is passed in accordance with such determination which is final. Both the decrees are in the same suit. Final decree may be said to become final in two ways: (i) when the time for appeal has expired without any appeal being filed against the preliminary decree or the matter has been decided by the highest Court; (ii) when, as regards the court passing the decree, the same stands completely disposed of. It is in the latter sense the word 'decree' is used in s. 2(2) of CPC. The appealability of the decree will, therefore, not affect its character as a final decree. The final decre...

Suit and appeal

Inderjit, AIR 1966 SC 1423 (1427): (1966) 3 SCR 275.The only difference between a suit an appeal is this that an appeal 'only reviews and corrects the proceedings in a cause already constituted but does not create the cause, Deyawati v.
