Crossclaim Showdown: Boy George, Solange, and Beyonce

I don’t even if care if I get a C… I’m having too much fun…

Note: Solange suing Boy George back = counterclaim whereas Solange suing Beyonce is a cross-claim.

Correction: Also, Solange wants Beyonce to indemnify her* not to indemnify Beyonce.

  • You can bring unrelated claims or counterclaims 13(b)/rule 18… as in the Lindsay Lohan hypo.
  • You may not bring unrelated crossclaims (as Solange originally tried to do above.)
  • A crossclaim has to be derivative – “If I owe the person suing me. You owe me.”

  1. LMAO!
    I have never seen or read anything like this but it was sooooo funny lol…
    I felt like after reading that I should have been a pre-law student (Def not going to do that though, I’ll stick to proffessional accounting thank you very much lol)

  3. Actually, Solange’s claim against Beyonce is impleader, not crossclaim. Impleader is for derivative liability from an otherwise uninvolved party. Crossclaim is between coparties (plaintiff against plaintiff or defendant against defendant).

    Sorry to rain on your otherwise excellently trashy parade.
