All other persons may apply to the Commission for leave to intervene as parties. Leave to intervene shall be freely granted, provided that the Commission or its hearings officer, if one is appointed, may deny an application to intervene when in the Commission’s or hearings officer’s sound discretion it appears that: (1) the position of the applicant for intervention concerning the above matters are substantially the same as the position of a party already admitted to the proceeding; and (2) the admission of additional parties will render the proceedings inefficient and unmanageable. A person whose application to intervene is denied may appeal such denial to the circuit court pursuant to section 91-14, HRS.
Petitions to intervene shall be in conformity with section 15-15-53, HAR. The petition for intervention with proof of service on all parties shall be filed with the Commission within fifteen (15) days after the publication of this notice.
