1Opinion of the Court
Branch, Judge.
The Kroger Company and its agent, Sedgwick CMS, appeal the denial of their motion to intervene in a workers’ compensation suit, arguing that the trial court erred because their subrogation claim is not barred by the applicable statute of limitation and because they are not adequately represented by the existing parties to the litigation. We agree with these contentions and reverse.
“[Wjhether a motion to intervene is timely is a decision entrusted to the sound discretion of the trial court.” (Citations and punctuation omitted.) Payne v. Dundee Mills, 235 Ga. App. 514, 515 (1)…
