- Abstract
- The Plaintiff corporation brought an action against Ramon Roces. The defendant disclaimed interest in the legal process, claiming that the real party defendant was the corporation, Ramon Roces Publications, Inc., of which he was only the president. Plaintiff presented an amended complaint, changing the party defendant to Ramon Roces Publications, Inc. Defendant opposed revision on the ground that it would illegally permit the change of the party defendant and of the cause of action.
