‘‘In order for a proposed intervenor to establish that it
is entitled to intervene as a matter of right, the proposed
intervenor must satisfy a well established four element
conjunctive test: [T]he motion to intervene must be
timely, the movant must have a direct and substantial
interest in the subject matter of the litigation, the mov-
ant’s interest must be impaired by disposition of the
litigation without the movant’s involvement and the
movant’s interest must not be represented adequately
parties be brought in. If a person not a party has an interest or title which
the judgment will affect, the court, on his application, shall direct him to
be made a party.’ Accord Practice Book § 9-18; see also General Statutes
§ 52-108 and Practice Book § 9-19 (allowing new parties to be brought in).’’

See King v. Sultar, 253 Conn. 429, 435–36, 754 A.2d 782 (2000) (reas-
serting that denial of motion to intervene filed by person with colorable
claim to intervention as matter of right is final judgment for purposes of
appeal and holding that proposed intervenor has party status for purposes
of § 52-263).

‘‘A colorable claim is one that is superficially well founded but that may
ultimately be deemed invalid . . . . For a claim to be colorable, the [propo-
nent of the claim] need not convince the trial court that he necessarily
will prevail; he must demonstrate simply that he might prevail.’’ (Citation
