PROBET PETISYEN NO. 23 TAHUN 1975 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court refused the application to intervene because the applicant failed to show common questions of law or fact with the existing proceeding, failed to produce evidence of mala fides in the ex parte replacement application, and failed to prove that the replacement executor's age or capacity would prejudice the applicant's beneficiary rights; intervention is discretionary and not warranted on the evidence.
