Is appellant entitled to intervene as a matter of right pursuant to section 387, subdivision (b)?

Appellant asserts that it is entitled to intervene as a matter of right pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 387, subdivision (b). Even if intervention were permitted and Code of Civil Procedure sections 860-870 were not exclusive, appellant has not brought itself within subdivision (b). Appellant's interest is adequately represented by existing parties. The interest of appellant is similar to that of the Greens and the legal arguments of appellant and the Greens will be similar. ¹⁰ (See Blake v. Pallan (1977) 554 F.2d 947.)
