In Minnesota, an intervention is a legal process in which a third party (intervene) is added to an ongoing lawsuit. To intervene may have an interest in the case, such as when the intervenes rights may be affected by the outcome of the case. In order to intervene in a lawsuit, to intervene must first provide notice to the parties involved. If to intervene is unsuccessful in obtaining consent to intervene from the parties involved, they can then file a motion to intervene in the court. The Minnesota Instructions — Notice to Intervene / Notice of Motion and Motion to InterveneStatewide provide guidance for potential intervenes on the process of intervening in a pending lawsuit, including the filing of a notice to intervene and a motion to intervene. The instructions provide information about the types of documents that must be filed (e.g. notice to intervene, motion to intervene, proposed orders, etc.), the format of the documents, the content of the documents, and the applicable filing fees. The instructions also provide information about the legal requirements for intervening in a lawsuit, such as when a motion to intervene must be filed and the procedures for obtaining consent from the parties involved. The Minnesota Instructions — Notice to Intervene / Notice of Motion and Motion to InterveneStatewide are published by the Minnesota Judicial Branch.
