intervention

Read a random definition: declaration of rights

A quick definition of intervention:

Intervention: When someone who is not part of a legal case wants to join in because they have a stake in what's going on, they can ask the court for permission to do so. This is called intervention. If the court agrees, the person can become part of the case and have a say in what happens. There are two types of intervention: one where the person has a right to join, and one where it's up to the court to decide.

A more thorough explanation:

Intervention is a legal term that allows a person who is not a party to a lawsuit to join the case if they have a direct interest in the subject matter. This can happen in two ways:

  • Intervention of right: If the person's interest is not being adequately represented by one of the parties, they can ask the court to let them join the case. This request must be made in a timely manner.
  • Permissive intervention: Even if the person's interest is being represented, the court may allow them to join the case if it would help resolve the issues more efficiently.

For example, let's say a group of environmental activists are suing a company for polluting a river. A local fisherman who relies on the river for his livelihood could ask to intervene in the case, arguing that his interests are not being represented by either the activists or the company. If the court agrees, he would become a party to the lawsuit and have a say in the outcome.
