The proposed interveners, former counsel to the appellants, brought a motion for leave to intervene as added parties in an appeal from the Ontario Securities Commission.
The appellants alleged ineffective assistance of counsel and sought a term prohibiting the interveners from appealing any future order made on the appeal.
The court declined to impose the restriction, holding that interveners added as parties under Rule 13.01(1) should generally enjoy the same rights of appeal as any other party regarding issues that directly affect them.
