SEC 1. Who
may intervene.—A person who has a legal interest in the matter
in litigation, or in the success of either of the parties, or an interest
against both, or is so situated as to be adversely affected by a distribution
or other disposition of property in the custody of the court or of an officer
thereof may, with leave of court, be allowed to intervene in the action. The
court shall consider whether or not the intervention will unduly delay or
prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties, and whether
or not the intervenor’s rights may be fully protected in a separate proceeding.

original parties.
SEC. 3. Pleadings-in-intervention.–The
intervenor shall file a complaint-in-intervention if he asserts a claim against
either or all of the original parties, or an answer-in-intervention if he
unites with the defending party in resisting a claim against the latter.

4. Answer to complaint-in-intervention.–The answer to the
complaint-in-intervention shall be filed within fifteen (15) days from notice
