In order to defeat federal court jurisdiction, it is improper but possible for a complaint to be filed in state court naming a non-diverse defendant "fraudulently, "i. e., naming a defendant against whom a good faith claim could not be asserted solely for the purpose of defeating federal court jurisdiction. An action wherein "fraudulent joinder" has occurred may nonetheless be removed. Fraudulent joinder is a judicially created exception to the requirement of complete diversity. 3, record 4, English, - fraudulent%20joinder
