The decision to generate 28 items is based on a structured analysis of the provided codal excerpt to ensure substantial coverage of its legal principles, definitions, and procedures.
- Main Sections Analyzed: 10 (Sections 1 through 10).
- Sub-Sections/Distinct Paragraphs: Approximately 16 distinct paragraphs or multi-clause sentences were identified, each containing a testable rule.
- Distinct Legal Concepts Identified: 25+
- Definitions: Who may be a party, Plaintiff, Defendant, Real Party in Interest, Indispensable Party, Necessary Party.
- General Rules: RPI prosecution, Joint suit of spouses, Assistance for minors.
- Exceptions/Qualifications: RPI ("unless authorized"), Spouses ("except as provided by law"), Agent of undisclosed principal ("except when...").
- Procedural Rules: Permissive joinder requirements (same transaction + common question), Compulsory joinder, Pleading non-joinder of necessary party, Unwilling co-plaintiff becoming a defendant.
- Consequences of Actions: Effect of non-inclusion of a necessary party, Waiver of claim for non-compliance.
- Recommended Item Count: A base of one question per distinct concept yields ~25 items. To achieve Bar-level difficulty, additional items were created to specifically test exceptions against general rules, and to contrast closely related concepts (e.g., Indispensable vs. Necessary parties). This brought the total to 28, which falls within the required 20-40 item range and provides comprehensive coverage without redundancy.
