NONPARTY, WHICH WISHED TO PURCHASE PROPERTY FOR USE AS A LAND FILL, PROPERLY ALLOWED TO INTERVENE IN A LAWSUIT BY THE PROPERTY OWNERS SEEKING TO DECLARE INVALID A LOCAL LAW WHICH PROHIBITED EXPANSION OF THE LAND FILL (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined a waste management company (Sealand), which had sought to purchase property for use as a land fill, was properly allowed to intervene in an action to determine the validity of a local law which prohibited expansion of the existing land fill:

​

Upon a timely motion, a nonparty is permitted to intervene as of right in an action involving property where the nonparty “may be affected adversely by the judgment” … . Additionally, after considering “whether the intervention will unduly delay the determination of the action or prejudice the substantial rights of any party,” a court may, in its discretion, permit a nonparty to intervene when, inter alia, the nonparty’s “claim or defense and the main action have a common question of law or fact” … . “Whether intervention is sought as a matter of right under CPLR 1012 (a), or as a matter of discretion under CPLR 1013, is of little practical significance since a timely motion for leave to intervene should be granted, in either event, where the intervenor has a real and substantial interest in the outcome of the proceedings” … . * * *

​

Here, although Sealand did not seek to intervene until several years after it knew its interests in the property may be implicated in the dispute, we conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion in granting the motion inasmuch as Sealand’s intervention will not delay resolution of the action and defendants will not suffer prejudice … . Sealand does not seek to assert any new claims or to conduct extensive additional discovery but rather, in essence, seeks only to continue the challenge to the 2007 Law on causes of action that remain unresolved despite lengthy litigation … . Where, as here, there is no “showing of prejudice resulting from delay in seeking intervention, the motion should not be denied as untimely” … . Jones v Town of Carroll, 2018 NY Slip Op 01010, Fourth Dept 2-9-18
