Intervention and expenses of Justice

(A) Whenever a vessel or other property is seized, attached or arrested and is in the custody of the Court, anyone asserting a maritime lien or a writ of foreign attachment against the vessel or property may upon motion to the court, with notice to counsel of record, be permitted to intervene. (B) Intervenors under this rule shall be liable for advancing expenses of justice together with the party originally effecting seizure on any reasonable basis determined by the Court. Intervenors may be required by the Marshal to advance their share of expenses accrued to the date of intervention and expected future expenses of justice giving due regard to the respective amounts of the various claims. Relief from such assessment may be granted by the Court upon motion.

(C) Release of seizure or dismissal by the party originally effecting seizure shall not quash the seizure if there remains pending any claim by intervenors, unless by unanimous consent of intervenors or order of Court. -7-
