Definition of joinder
1: CONJUNCTION sense 2
2a(1): a joining of parties as plaintiffs or defendants in a suit
(2): a joining of causes of action or defence
b: acceptance of an issue tendered
Prosecutors will ask the court for a joinder to bring the two cases together, Peisinger said, but that decision will be up to a judge.

Spanish term (edited):
conexión de la pieza
consolidation with the bundle
In both the USA and E&W, joinder of criminal defendants / accused(s), as opposed to consolidation of criminal indictments and appeals.
Pieza > part of the record of a judicial proceeding; pieza de autos > main part of the record; pieza separada > collateral issue, West.
Emphasis on the USA for Guatemalan consumption and to broaden the horizons, paradoxically, of Anglo-Centric travellers.
Pieza > part of the record of a judicial proceeding; pieza de autos > main part of the record; pieza separada > collateral issue, West.

Example sentence:
USA, NY Crim. Proc. Section 200.40 - Indictment; joinder of defendants and consolidation of indictments against different defendants
USA, Florida : Consolidation may take several forms. The rule permits the court to combine cases for discovery only, for trial only, or for all purposes. See Fla.R.Civ.P.

Taña Dalglish
: Why? By your own admission, you say "joinder" is okay! https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/joinder (a joining of causes of action or defence);//So what does statement mean "to broaden the horizons, paradoxically, of Anglo-Centric travellers"?

: Criminal proceedings against defendants XXX and YYY are indeed being consolidated, but why "with the bundle"? Doesn't make any sense to me

pieza can be a bundle or part of an action. The question relates to the 'connection'. BTW, my youngest brother is a UK Scrabble championship runner-up.

Jennifer Levey
: Yes, 'consolidation' of selected pleadings/evidence etc. from one case with those of another, as distinct from a 'joinder' which has the effect of amalgamating cases as a whole. 'with the bundle' is superfluous.

Gracias and thanks, Jennifer.

Sandro Tomasi
: Joinder is done by a party; consolidation is done by a court. In both instances, whole cases are being heard together. I’m not sure if “consolidation” would be the term here, but it certainly is not joinder.

Gracias and thanks, Sandro. The asker is in Puerto Rico, so part of the USA but has picked an Anglo- or Caribo-Centric answer.
