Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that a motion to intervene is timely if filed prior to any substantive proceedings having taken place
- holding that intervention at an early stage of the litigation will not prejudice the parties
- noting that “beneficiaries have a property interest in the trust res that is enforceable either in law or in equity”
- holding beneficiaries’ interest in fund sufficient to intervene in action brought by third parties seeking recovery against fund
- observing that “intervention has been allowed even after the entry of a judgment”
- explaining that if the plaintiff and defendant in the litigation settled then the movant would have been the beneficiaries of a worthless trust, which precludes the movant’s ability to recover the amount of its claim
