JOINT TORTFEASERS =/= REQ. PARTY! (dont even satisfy 19a, so ~ reach 19b (controlled by R20) 1) Ps interest in preserving a fully litigated judgment was controlling unless countered by greater opposing considerations, 2) the Ds interests in joining Dutcher were foreclosed by their failure to move for such a joinder before judgment was entered, 3) the absent party's interests were not foreclosed by his failure to be joined and the judgment entered by the trial court therefore does not bind him and causes his rights no harm as a result, 4) the efficiency of the judiciary may have been benefitted from an attempt to find a more suitable forum for the controversy before judgment was entered but, after judgment was entered, efficiency would best be served upon appellate review by preserving the trial court's judgment. Intervener needs standing to appeal. Desire to prevent adverse precedent may suffice to intervene Denyal of permissive intervener ~ immediately appealable MUST JOIN IF AFFECT TAKING cant expect to join in volutrily st Wait and see how 1 case turns out, then get another bite at the apple.
