Griffitts v. Campbell

Old Republic Insurance Company (“Old Republic”) and BNSF Railway Company (“BNSF”) appeal from the trial court’s denial of their post-judgment motion to intervene as a matter of right under Rule 52.12(a)(2)1 in a personal injury and property damage lawsuit brought by Ricky Lee Griffitts (“Griffitts”) against James M. Campbell (“Campbell”). We conclude that Old Republic and BNSF did not have an interest in the lawsuit sufficient to support intervention as a matter of right, and affirm the trial court’s denial of Old Republic and BNSF’s post-judgment motion to intervene as a matter of right.
