§ Rule 24(b) Permissive intervention

Rule 24(b). Permissive intervention

    Upon timely application anyone may be permitted to intervene in an action:

    1. When a statute confers a conditional right to intervene.

    2. When an applicant's claim or defense and the main action have a question of law or fact in common.

    In exercising its discretion the court shall consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties.
