I may therefore say that it is  somewhat paradoxical for Plaintiff to have acknowledged the law that it is the  head of family who sues on behalf of or as representing the family but would  not apply the same acknowledgement of the law in suing the Brown family  per its head. In other words, when Plaintiff proceeded against the Brown  family, it would have been expected that he should have sued the head of the  Brown family just as he sued as the head of the Briandt family.
