§ 2-25 Intervention.
RCNY § 2-25
(a)A person may move to intervene as a party at any time before commencement of the trial. Intervention may be permitted, in the discretion of the administrative law judge, if the proposed intervenor demonstrates a substantial interest in the outcome of the case. In determining applications for intervention, the administrative law judge will consider the timeliness of the application, whether the issues in the case would be unduly broadened by grant of the application, the nature and extent of the interest of the proposed intervenor and the prejudice that would be suffered by the intervenor if the application is denied, and such other factors as may be relevant. The administrative law judge may grant the application upon such terms and conditions as he or she may deem appropriate and may limit the scope of an intervenor's participation in the adjudication.
(b)A complainant may be permitted to intervene as of right, upon notice to all parties and the administrative law judge at or before the first conference in the case, or, if no conference is held, before commencement of trial. The Commission's Law Enforcement Bureau will prosecute the complaint. Complainants and respondents may be represented by attorneys or other duly authorized representatives, who must file notices of appearance pursuant to the Commission's rules (47 RCNY § 1-15), if before referral of the case to OATH, or pursuant to 48 RCNY § 1-11, if after such referral.
