CoA, January 8, 2025, Order Concerning An Application To Intervene, UPC_CoA_621/2024

Key takeaways

Timing and grounds of an intervention (Rule 313 RoP)

• An application to intervene may be lodged at any stage of the proceedings by any person establishing a legal interest in the result of an action.
• An application to intervene shall only be admissible if it is made before the closure of the written procedure unless the Court orders otherwise (Rule 313.2 RoP). The declaration of the intervener not to file a statement of intervention under Rule 315.1 and 315.3 RoP can be a reason for the Court to allow an intervention even after the closure of the written procedure, as this does not delay the proceedings.
