The applicant and respondents, who are brothers, are involved in a dispute over the management of their mother's property and competing powers of attorney.
A fourth brother, who is not a party to the application, brought a motion for intervenor status and interim financial assistance, arguing he relied on his mother for financial support and housing.
The court dismissed the motion, finding the proposed intervenor had no legal interest in the subject matter of the application, would not be adversely affected by its outcome, and shared no common questions of law or fact.
Furthermore, adding him as a party two weeks before the scheduled hearing would cause undue delay and prejudice.
The request for interim financial assistance was also dismissed, with costs awarded against the proposed intervenor but deferred against his potential inheritance.
