GEICO challenged the denial of its motions to intervene in the arbitration confirmation proceeding. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, holding that GEICO's motions to intervene were untimely under section 537.065.2 and that GEICO lacked a direct interest for intervention as of right under Rule 52.12(a)(2). The court also found no abuse of discretion in denying permissive intervention.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","insurance","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","personal-injury"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=143922","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/richard-a-aguilar-v-geico-casualty-co-d82266","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: personal-injury"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"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"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
