Rule 1.235 Parties partly interested

If you're involved in a lawsuit with multiple parties, you don't have to have a stake in every single thing being asked for in the case. You can care about only part of what's being fought over, and that's fine.

The court can also make separate decisions for different parties based on what applies to each one. This means the judge doesn't have to treat everyone in the case the same way. Instead, the outcome can be different for each person or business involved, depending on their own rights and responsibilities in the situation.

This rule matters because lawsuits often involve several people or companies at once, and not everyone is fighting over the same issue. It lets the court sort out who owes what, or who gets what, without forcing an all-or-nothing result that applies equally to every party.
