Current through Supplement No. 394, October, 2024

Section 60-02-02-07 - Intervention

In any formal proceeding, any person having a substantial interest in the subject matter of such proceeding may petition for leave to intervene in such proceeding and may become a party thereto upon compliance with the provisions of this section. In general, such petitions will not be granted unless it shall be found that such person has a statutory right to be made a party to such proceedings or that such person has a property, financial, or other legally-recognizable interest which may not be adequately represented by existing parties, and such intervention would not unduly broaden the issues or delay the proceeding.

1. A petition for leave to intervene shall be in writing, unless made at the commencement of a hearing, and must set forth the grounds of the proposed intervention, the position and interest of the petitioner in the proceeding, and whether the petitioner's position is in support of or in opposition to the relief sought.

2. A written petition for leave to intervene in any proceeding may be filed prior to or at the commencement of the hearing, but not after commencement, except for good cause shown.

3. The petitioner shall furnish a copy of any written petition to each party to the proceeding, including the commissioner.

4. Admission as an intervenor shall not be construed as recognition by the commissioner that such intervenor might be aggrieved by any act of the commissioner in such proceeding.
