A person who is not the applicant or respondent but joins the proceedings because they have an interest in the outcome — for example, a new partner, a family member, or a third party with a claim to a property. An intervener is named in the order and can be bound by its terms.
In Plain English
A third person, like a family member or business partner, who joins a case because they have a legal interest in the assets being discussed. They become an official part of the case and are bound by the judge's decision.
