Joinder was granted: the Challenger Group has sufficient direct interests distinct from marine farmers and no existing party adequately represents commercial fishers; High Court Rules r97 and, alternatively, r9 and r425 together with the Court's inherent jurisdiction permit joinder as defendant/respondent or as interested party/intervener, enabling the Court to effectually and completely adjudicate the issues; no prejudice shown to warrant refusal.
