The Insurers sought to contest the confirmation, arguing they had a right to intervene under Section 537.065.2 and Rule 52.12, and that their constitutional rights were violated. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the Insurers' motion to intervene was untimely under Section 537.065.2 and that they lacked a direct interest for intervention under Rule 52.12(a)(2).","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","insurance","appellate-procedure","contracts","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=178234","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/harold-barnett-respondent-v-columbia-maintenance-company-et-al-respondent-109008","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"insurance-bad-faith","label":"Insurance Bad Faith","href":"/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: insurance"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
