Section 69-02-02-05 - Intervention
Current through Supplement No. 394, October, 2024
Any person with a substantial interest in a proceeding may petition to intervene in that proceeding by complying with this section. An intervention may be granted if the petitioner has a statutory right to be a party to the proceeding; or the petitioner has a legal interest which may be substantially affected by the proceeding, and the intervention would not unduly broaden the issues or delay the proceeding. The commission may impose conditions and limitations on an intervention to promote the interests of justice.
1. Contents of petition to intervene. A petition to intervene must be in writing and must set forth the grounds for intervention, the position and interest of the petitioner in the proceeding, what the petitioner would contribute to the hearing, and whether the petitioner's position is in support of or in opposition to the relief sought.
2. When filed. A petition to intervene in any proceeding must be filed at least ten days prior to the hearing, but not after except for good cause shown.
3. Number of copies. The petitioner will serve a copy of the petition on each party to the proceeding and will file with the commission the original and seven copies.
4. Effect. Admission as an intervenor shall not be construed as recognition by the commission that such intervenor might be aggrieved by an order of the commission in such proceeding.
