Columbia Maintenance Company, et al., Respondents, Amco Insurance Company and Depositors Insurance Company Missouri Cases

AMCO Insurance Company and Depositors Insurance Company appealed the circuit court's denial of their motion to intervene in a proceeding to confirm an arbitration award in favor of Harold Barnett against their policyholders. 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).
