KENTUCKY RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
RULE  24 INTERVENTION

CR 24.01 INTERVENTION OF RIGHT

     (1) Upon timely application anyone shall be permitted to intervene in an action (a) when a statute confers an unconditional right to intervene, or (b) when the applicant claims an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action and is so situated that the disposition of the action may as a practical matter impair or impede the applicant's ability to protect that interest, unless that interest is adequately represented by existing parties.

     (2) Anyone possessing a statutory right of intervention under (1)(a) above, may move the court to intervene in a pending action and, on failure of a party to file an objection within ten (10) days to the intervention and a notice of hearing on the objection, have an order allowing the intervention without appearing in court for a hearing.

[Amended by Order 93-1, eff. 9-1-93; prior amendments eff. 1-1-78, 7-1-69; adopted eff. 7-1-53]

CR 24.02 PERMISSIVE INTERVENTION

     Upon timely application anyone may be permitted to intervene in an action: (a) when a statute confers a conditional right to intervene or (b) when an applicant's claim or defense and the main action have a question of law or fact in common. When a party to an action relies for ground of claim or defense upon any statute or executive order administered by a governmental officer or agency or upon any regulation, order, requirement, or agreement issued or made pursuant to the statute or executive order, the officer or agency upon timely application may be permitted to intervene in the action. In exercising its discretion the court shall consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties.

[Amended eff. 1-1-78; adopted eff. 7-1-53]

CR 24.03 PROCEDURE

     A person desiring to intervene shall serve a motion to intervene upon the parties as provided in Rule 5. The motion shall state the grounds therefor and shall be accompanied by a pleading setting forth the claim or defense for which intervention is sought. The same procedure shall be followed when a statute gives a right to intervene. When the constitutionality of an act of the General Assembly affecting the public interest is drawn into question in any action, the movant shall serve a copy of the pleading, motion or other paper first raising the challenge upon the Attorney-General.

[Amended by Order 98-2, eff. 1-1-99; prior amendments eff. 1-1-78, 7-1-69; adopted eff. 7-1-53]
