How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding a risk of potential conflict of interest in future settlement negotiations is sufficient to warrant the default rule under adequacy of representation
- treating 3 Article III standing as an additional requirement for intervenors
- potential harm from settlement agreement suffices to show inadequate representation of proposed intervenors’ interests
- ability for proposed intervenor to separately litigate is not “an automatic bar to intervention”
