§ 708.190.Intervention

Sometimes the person with a stake in the outcome of an examination proceeding isn't the debtor, the creditor, or the third person named in the order — it's someone else entirely who claims an interest in the same property or debt. This section lets that person step into the proceeding rather than watch from outside.

Once that person intervenes, the court decides the person's rights in the property or debt the same way it would decide a third person's adverse claim or denial of debt under § 708.180 — including the limits that section places on resolving the dispute inside the examination proceeding versus sending it to a creditor's suit.
