In contested cases, upon timely application, any person shall be permitted to intervene when a statute confers an unconditional right to intervene, or when the applicant has an individual interest in the outcome of the case as distinguished from a public interest and the representation of the interest of the applicant is inadequate. The mere fact that an applicant is, or has been, a patient of the licensee is not a sufficient interest to permit intervention. The individual interest contemplated by this rule is a business or financial interest which cannot adequately be represented by the Board of Medical Examiners.
