French term

intervenante volontaire

This document starts off with the name and details of a company, then qualifies it as an "intervenante volontaire" in the proceedings. Does anyone know the correct legal term for this party? Many thanks
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): writeaway

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Bancorp Rhode Island Receives $30 Million as a Voluntary Participant in the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program.PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Bancorp Rhode Island

, Inc. ("BancorpRI") (NASDAQ



: BARI), the parent company of Bank Rhode Island ("BankRI"), today announced that it has received $30 million as a participant in the U.S. Treasury

In the example used above, if the 20% voluntary participants have a 50% success rate with a $400 average success gain for each, they contribute 50% x $400 = $200 per participant to the total gain. If the 75% “default” participants, thanks to being at higher risk and more impaired to begin with, contribute as much as $200 divided by their 13.33% success rate = a $1500 average gain per success, their gain per participant will just as great as that for the voluntary group. In any case, as long as their average gain per participant is greater than their cost per participant, they are adding to the net value of the EHM investment by participating.

intervenor

"An intervenor is a person who voluntarily interposes in an action or other proceeding with the leave of the court.: Black's Law Dictionary. Adding the term 'voluntary' in English is redundant, and incorrect.
