Application to intervene was allowed: where the Statement of Claim contains serious allegations that directly impugn an individual's professional reputation and expose them to potential liabilities or disciplinary consequences, the court may exercise its discretion under Order 15 rule 6(2)(b) to add that person as a defendant even though no relief is claimed against them, to enable them to defend their reputation and address potential liabilities and to ensure all affected parties are before the court.

An insurer whose statutory liability under s.96(1) RTA may be directly affected by a judgment against its insured has locus to intervene under Order 15 r.6; allowing intervention prevents duplicity and ensures disputed factual issues of tort (involvement/negligence) are determined by viva voce trial, and s.96(3) does not preclude such intervention.
