Pharmac lacks the requisite legal interest because the effects on it are commercial/indirect and its voluntary undertaking does not create a legal right; it failed to show its joinder would materially assist the Court or add a distinct perspective beyond AFT's representation; therefore the Court will not exercise its inherent jurisdiction to join Pharmac as an interested party in this private patent dispute.
