“Washington law clearly states that if a party files a motion to intervene prior to the commencement of trial, that motion is timely.” (See Am. Disc. Corp. v. Saratoga W. Inc. (1972) 81 Wn.2d 34, 43, 499 P.2d 869; Dolan v. King Cnty., No. 44982-0-II, at *1 (Wash. Ct. App. Nov. 18, 2014).)
“But post-judgment, the superior court should allow a motion to intervene only upon a strong showing after considering all circumstances, including prior notice, prejudice to the other parties, and reasons for and length of the delay.” (See Dolan v. King Cnty., No. 44982-0-II, at *1 (Wash. Ct. App. Nov. 18, 2014).)
“The court rule governing intervention, CR 24, provides in relevant part: upon timely application anyone shall be permitted to intervene in an action ... (2) when the applicant claims an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action and he is so situated that the disposition of the action may as a practical matter impair or impede his ability to protect that interest, unless the applicant's interest is adequately represented by existing parties.” (See Wilson v. Mt. Solo Landfill, Inc., No. 44938-2-II, at *1 (Wash. Ct. App. Nov. 13, 2014).)
“Our Supreme Court has interpreted CR 24(a) as containing four requirements that a party must satisfy before the trial court must grant the party's motion to intervene as a matter of right:
(See Wilson v. Mt. Solo Landfill, Inc., No. 44938-2-II, at *1 (Wash. Ct. App. Nov. 13, 2014).)
“If [one] fails to satisfy any of these four requirements, [the court] need not examine the remaining requirements and must uphold the trial court's order denying its motion to intervene.” (See id.)
“We will reverse a trial court's denial of a party's motion to intervene as a matter of right only if an error of law has occurred." (See Westerman v. Cory, (1994) 125 Wn.2d 277, 302, 892 P.2d 1067; Wilson v. Mt. Solo Landfill, Inc., No. 44938-2-II, at *1 (Wash. Ct. App. Nov. 13, 2014).)
“Thus, to determine the validity of a motion to intervene, courts look to the pleadings, accepting the well pleaded allegations therein as true.” (See id.)
“We review a superior court's decision to grant or deny a motion to intervene on grounds of timeliness, as well as its decision to limit the scope of intervention generally, for an abuse of discretion.” (See Kreidler v. Eikenberry, (1989) 111 Wn.2d 828, 832, 766 P.2d 438; Dolan v. King Cnty., No. 44982-0-II, at *1 (Wash. Ct. App. Nov. 18, 2014).)
“A superior court abuses its discretion where either no reasonable person would adopt the superior court's position, or the superior court based its ruling on an erroneous legal conclusion.” (See Dolan v. King Cnty., No. 44982-0-II, at *1 (Wash. Ct. App. Nov. 18, 2014).)
It is well settled that “intervention in a dependency action by anyone other than the child's natural parent will rarely be appropriate. Any such decision permitting intervention is within the court's informed discretion and will be reviewed under an abuse of discretion standard.” (See In re Welfare of Coverdell (1984) 39 Wn.App. 887, 891, 696 P.2d 1241; In re Dependency of A.D., 74227-2-I, at *1 (Wash. Ct. App. Sep. 6, 2016).)
It is also well settled that “in determining whether an applicant has an interest sufficient to intervene as a matter of right, a court makes a case-by-case analysis, balancing the relative concerns of the prospective intervenors, the original parties to the action, and the public in effecting the efficient resolution of the controversy. The interest that the intervenor seeks to protect must be one recognized by law.” (See In re Dependency of L.B., No. 48602-1-I, at *1 (Wash. Ct. App. Dec. 3, 2001).)
