Rawlins v. Stanley

The opinion of the court was delivered by The basic issue presented in this appeal is whether an
insurance carrier which has issued a policy containing an
uninsured motorist clause may, by timely motion, intervene as of
right as a party defendant in an action brought by its insured
against an uninsured motorist. There are other issues the parties
seek to have determined, but for reasons to be discussed we do
not deem them ripe for decision on this record. The details of the automobile collision out of which this
action arose are not important to the decision in this case.
Suffice it to say that on February 19, 1969, the
plaintiffs-appellees, Josephine M. Rawlins and her two minor
children, were passengers in a car driven by Mrs. Rawlins'
husband, Edward G. Rawlins, on Reynolds Avenue
[207 Kan. 565]
