RULE 225. INTERVENTION
- (a) Who May Intervene: The persons to whom notice is required
to be given by the Commissioner pursuant to Code section
6110(d)(3), (f)(3)(B), or (f)(4)(B) shall have the right to
intervene in the action as to which the notice was given. The
Commissioner shall append a copy of the petition to any such
notice.
- (b) Procedure: If a person desires to intervene, then such
person shall file an initial pleading, which shall be a petition in
intervention or an answer in intervention, not later than 30 days
after mailing by the Commissioner of the notice referred to in
paragraph (a) of this Rule. In an action for additional disclosure
where the Commissioner elects not to defend pursuant to Code
section 6110(f)(4)(B), the Commissioner shall mail to each person,
to whom the Commissioner has mailed the notice referred to in
paragraph (a) of this Rule, a notice of the Commissioner's election
not to defend, and any such person desiring to intervene shall have
30 days after such mailing within which to file a petition in
intervention or an answer in intervention. The initial pleading of
an intervenor, whether a petition or answer, shall show the basis
for the right to intervene and shall include, to the extent
appropriate, the same elements as are required for a petition under
Rule 221 or an answer under Rule 223. An intervenor shall otherwise be
subject to the same rules of procedure as apply to other parties.
With respect to anonymous intervention, see Rule 227.
