The court exercised its discretion to join Wing Lung Insurance under both limbs of O.15 r.6(2)(b) because Wing Lung had a direct and substantial interest in the determination of Tung Sing Printing's vicarious liability, an adverse trial finding before arbitration would materially prejudice Wing Lung's rights under the policy, and assurances and limited scope of participation mitigated prejudice and delay; the application to amend the defence was dismissed.
