Rule 24.4 Invitations to interveneI1
Scotland
An invitation from the Court to intervene is to be in Form 24.4.
Where an enactment requires that the Court be satisfied that intervention is likely to assist the Court, it may invite an intervention only if it is so satisfied.
The Clerk must send a copy of Form 24.4 to the parties to the proceedings and to the F2invitee.
When the Clerk sends a copy of Form 24.4 to the invitee, the Clerk must also send—
a copy of the note of appeal and any answers to it;
the appeal print, if it is available;
any other documents relating to the appeal that the Court thinks are relevant.
Where the Court invites the invitee to intervene, it may impose any conditions that it considers desirable in the interests of justice.
In particular, the Court may make provision about any additional expenses incurred by the parties as a result of the intervention.
