Information on Application for Order to be Joined as a Party

This form may be used when an application has already commenced before the tribunal and someone who has interest in an application wishes to apply for an order to be joined as a new party to the application.

The tribunal may join a person as a new party to an application if –

a)	the person has an interest in the application (section 29(5) of the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act) and relevant authorising laws; or would be directly affected by the notice of appeal, or is interested in maintaining the order appealed from (rule 25 of the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Procedural Rules)
b)	for an appeal – the person was a party to the original decision (section 29(5) of the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008) and relevant authorising laws.

The tribunal must not join a person as a new applicant if the person is not entitled to apply to the tribunal under the authorising law under which the application is made. (Section 29(6) of the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act).
