Applicant's request to be joined and his appeal were dismissed because the operative tenancy terminated on the prior tenant's death, the applicant had no independent legal right to occupy the unit (at best a license which ended on death), his proposed judicial review route was inappropriate and time-barred so prospects of success were negligible, the late appeal could not be extended for lack of merit, and a stay would prejudice the public interest in recovery and reallocation of public housing.
