The proposed intervenor, Friends of Shalom (FOS), brought a motion for leave to intervene as an added party in an action concerning the governance and charitable property of the Toronto Zionist Council (TZC) and its operation of Camp Shalom.
The plaintiffs consented to the motion, but TZC opposed it.
The court found that FOS satisfied the criteria under Rule 13.01, as it had an interest in the subject matter, could be adversely affected by a judgment, and shared common questions of law and fact with the parties.
The court granted FOS leave to intervene on specific terms to ensure its participation would be useful and not unduly delay or prejudice the proceedings.
