Ariz. Admin. Code § R14-3-105 - Intervention as party and other appearances

A. Intervention. Persons, other than the original parties to the proceedings, who are directly and substantially affected by the proceedings, shall secure an order from the Commission or presiding officer granting leave to intervene before being allowed to participate.

B. Application. An application for leave to intervene shall be in writing and must state the basis for the application. Such application shall be served and filed by an applicant at least five days before the proceeding is called for hearing. No application for leave to intervene shall be granted where by so doing the issues theretofore presented will be unduly broadened, except upon leave of the Commission first had and received. Upon the granting of an application to intervene by the Commission or the presiding officer, the intervening person shall thereafter be designated an "Intervenor".

C. Other appearances. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections R14-3-105(A) and R14-3-105(B), any consumer or prospective consumer may appear at any proceeding and make a statement on his own behalf, at a time designated by the Commission or presiding officer. A person so appearing shall not be deemed a party to the proceedings. When two or more interested persons under this rule have substantially like interests and positions, the presiding officer may declare them a class of interested persons for purposes of the hearing. The members of the class shall designate to be spokesman for the class one of their number, or his attorney, or such greater of their number, or attorneys, as the presiding officer shall determine. More than one class may be established for a hearing.
