The joinder application was refused because Chen was not a necessary party under O.15 r.6(2)(b) — his asserted claims post‑date and materially differ from the issues to be tried, his interests are effectively aligned with existing plaintiff groups so joinder would duplicate representation, the application was unduly late and would cause prejudice and disruption shortly before trial, and receivership and res judicata principles mean he can be bound or obtain remedies post‑trial; therefore the discretionary power to join was not exercised in his favour.
