¶ 57 Weeks moved the District Court to intervene under M. R. Civ. P. 24(a)(2), which provides, upon timely motion, the court must permit anyone to intervene who claims an interest relating to the property which is the subject of the action, and is so situated that disposing of the action may impair or impede the movant's ability to protect his interest, unless the existing parties adequately represent that interest. To intervene as a matter of right under M. R. Civ. P. 24(a), the applicant must satisfy four criteria: (1) the application must be timely; (2) the applicant must show an interest in the subject matter of the action; (3) the applicant must show that protection of his interest may be impaired by the disposition of the action; and (4) the applicant must show that his interest is not adequately represented by an existing party. Loftis , ¶ 9 (citations omitted).
