Subpart 1.

Petition.

Any person not named in the notice of hearing who desires to participate as a party shall submit a written petition to intervene to the administrative law judge and shall serve a copy of the petition upon all existing parties and the agency. The petition shall show how the petitioner's legal rights, duties, or privileges may be determined or affected by the proceeding; shall set forth the grounds and purposes for which intervention is sought; and shall indicate petitioner's statutory right to intervene if one should exist.

Subp. 2.

Objection.

Any party may object to the petition for intervention by filing a written notice of objection with the administrative law judge within seven days of service of the petition if there is sufficient time before the hearing. The notice shall state the party's reasons for objection, and a copy shall be served upon all parties, the person petitioning to intervene, and the agency. If there is insufficient time before the hearing for such written objection, the objection may be made orally at the hearing.

Subp. 3.

Order.

The administrative law judge shall allow intervention upon a proper showing pursuant to subpart 1 unless the administrative law judge finds that the petitioner's interest is adequately represented by one or more other parties participating in the case.
