Application to intervene was dismissed because it was filed at the last moment without reasonable explanation despite the insurer having knowledge and involvement since 2020; no cogent evidence beyond suspicion of fraud was produced to justify late joinder; the application was an afterthought and would prejudice the plaintiff and amount to abuse of process, therefore the court exercised its discretion to refuse intervention and awarded costs to the plaintiff.
