- Court
- High Court
Under r 4.56(1)(b)(ii) the court will order joinder where a proposed party has a genuine and direct interest that will be affected by the judgment and their presence is necessary to assist the court to adjudicate all matters, provided joinder does not cause undue prejudice or delay; applying that test, Connal should be joined because his entitlement is directly affected, there is no obvious prejudice, and justice requires he be heard.
