The moving parties, former solicitors for the plaintiff, sought leave to intervene in three medical negligence actions.
The plaintiff had commenced a solicitor's negligence action against them for allegedly missing a limitation period.
The moving parties argued they had an interest in the medical actions because the outcome would affect their liability.
The court refused leave to intervene in the main medical actions, finding the solicitors had no involvement in the medical care and their participation could prejudice the existing parties.
However, the court granted them leave to intervene in the pending motion for judgment regarding the limitation issues.
