parties applying to be joined
Explanation:
These are parties who are applying to be joined to a lawsuit. The short piece of text doesn't say in what capacity (e.g. joint claimants, joint defendants, thirs parties etc. etc.) so we can make no assumption. "Volontaire" here means that these parties are applying on their own volition as oposed to be adding either a) at the request of another party or b) on the order of the court

permissive joinder (post-selection suggestion)


Explanation:
I did look into this further as I was curious. For the US, this may help. I'm wary of using a seemingly "parallele" term as it can often be extremely misleading. It can lead to target readers imagining that identical circumstances and indentical consequences arise, where it may not be the case at all. So beware!

Nevertheless, for future reference, if ever someone needs to specificy "intervention forcée" ou "intervention volontaire" : http://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?artic...

This is fairly close, one type being "necessary", one being "indispensible". The latter is joined by the judge. It is necessary to read through the document and come to one's own conclusions. It would also be a good idea to find a much more up-todate source!

For "forcée", then this may be helpful : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indispensable_party the party being indispensible, forced to join the action, a party without whom the judge may have to dismiss the case.

There are no doubt other sources for "necessary" joinder.

Here is something more update, but as it's Wikipedia, do of course check the original sources :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joinder

"Joinder of parties also falls into two categories: permissive joinder and compulsory joinder.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure No. 20 addresses permissive joinder. Permissive joinder allows multiple plaintiffs to join in an action if each of their claims arise from the same transaction or occurrence, and if there is a common question of law or fact relating to all plaintiffs' claims. For example, several landowners may join together in suing a factory for environmental runoff onto their property. Permissive joinder is also appropriate to join multiple defendants, as long as the same considerations as for joining multiple plaintiffs are met. This often occurs in lawsuits regarding faulty products; the plaintiff will sue the manufacturer of the final product and the manufacturers of any constituent parts. The court must have personal jurisdiction over every defendant joined in the action.[2]

Compulsory joinder is governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 19, which makes it mandatory that some parties be joined. Parties that must be joined are those necessary and indispensable to the litigation. The rule includes several reasons why this might be true, including if that party has an interest in the dispute that they will be unable to protect if they are not joined. For example, if three parties each lay claim to a piece of property and the first two sue each other, the third will not be able to protect his (alleged) interest in the property if he is not joined.

Another circumstance is when a party might end up with inconsistent obligations, for example he may be required by two different courts to grant two different parties exclusive rights to the same piece of property. This is avoided by joining the parties in one lawsuit. However, while "necessary" parties must be joined if that joinder is possible, the litigation will continue without them if joinder is impossible, for example, if the court does not have jurisdiction over the party. By contrast, if "indispensable" parties cannot be joined, the litigation cannot go forward. Courts have some discretion in determining what parties are indispensable, though the Federal Rules provide some guidelines.[3]"

Maybe that is a suuitable update.

  -> Yes, although it can be worked in. The French is also about how the parties are joined and "permissive joinder of parties" can be worked in. You posted a source for "permissive joinder of parties" whicih Iv'e only just noticed.

INTERVENTION DEFINITION

Définition de Intervention



On dit "payer par intervention" pour, alors qu'elle n'y était pas légalement ou conventionnellement tenue, exprimer qu'une personne s'entremet volontairement pour régler une dette au lieu et place du débiteur. Le créancier peut refuser l'intervention s'il a un intérêt légitime à s'y opposer, ou encore, si la prestation attendue était faite en vertu d'un contrat conclu intuitu personae. Celui qui a sciemment acquitté la dette d'autrui, sans être subrogé dans les droits du créancier, doit démontrer que la cause dont procédait ce paiement impliquait, pour le débiteur, l'obligation de lui rembourser les sommes ainsi versées. (1re Chambre civile 12 janv. 2012, pourvoi n° 10-24. 512, LexisNexis et Legifrance).

En procédure, l'intervention est le fait pour une personne qui jusque là n'était pas partie au procès, de entre dans la procédure. Elle prends deux formes : elle est, soit volontaire, soit forcée. Dans le premier cas, la personne qui estime ses droits en danger intervient volontairement à l' instance lorsqu'elle est encore pendante. C'est notamment le cas lorsque le garant, sans attendre d'être appelé dans la cause où dans laquelle jusque là, il ne se trouvait pas partie, décide d'y intervenir. Par exemple un assureur a intérêt à intervenir dans le procès en responsabilité opposant d'une part, un de ses client et d'autre part, la victime qui demande à ce dernier une réparation de son préjudice prenant la forme de dommages-intérêts. Le second cas, d'intervention vise l'hypothèse inverse dans laquelle une partie assigne une personne pour la contraindre à devenir une partie au procès auquel jusque là elle était restée étrangère. Le cas le plus fréquent d'intervention forcée, est celui où une partie diligente un appel en garantie. Si le juge estime que le tiers a été assigné à tort, ce dernier est "mis hors de cause" et il peut obtenir un dédommagement pour le couvrir du dommage que lui a causé le fait qu'il a dû engager des frais pour suivre sur la procédure.

L'article 555 du Code de procédure civile subordonne la recevabilité de l'intervention forcée à la constatation que l'évolution du litige implique la mise en cause du tiers en raison de la révélation d'une circonstance de fait ou de droit, née du jugement ou postérieur à celui-ci, modifiant les données juridiques du litige. L'action directe du tiers lésé contre l'assureur de responsabilité est une action autonome qui trouve son fondement dans le droit de ce tiers à réparation de son préjudice. Si des tiers appelés en garantie pouvaient, dès la première instance, assigner leur compagnie d'assurances, il convient d'en déduire qu'un refus de garantie opposé par cette dernière après le jugement n'avait pas pour effet de modifier les données juridiques du litige et ne constituait pas une évolution de celui-ci impliquant la mise en cause de cet assureur. (3e Chambre Civile 15 décembre 2010., pourvoi n°09-68. 894, BICC n°740 du 15 avril 2011 et Legifrance). Sur la notion d'évolution du litige, consulter aussi : Ch. mixte, 9 novembre 2007, pourvoi n°06-19. 508, Bull. 2007 ; Ch. mixte, n°10, et l'arrêt cité ; 3e Civ., 28 janvier 2009, pourvoi n°07-19. 240, Bull. 2009, III, n°21.

Les deux types d'intervention peuvent avoir lieu pour la première fois en cause d'appel et devant la Cour de Cassation. A cet égard, elle a estimé que l'intervention forcée d'un tiers en cause d'appel restait recevable dès lors qu'elle était motivée par une circonstance de fait ou de droit révélée née du jugement ou postérieurement au jugement entrepris et modifiant les données juridiques du litige(2e Chambre civile 11 avril 2013 pourvoi n°12-14476, BICC n°788 du 1er octobre 2013 et Legifrance) L'intervention volontaire se fait devant le tribunal de grande instance, à l'égard des parties comparantes, par des conclusions comportant les demandes de l'intervenant, qui ne sont soumises à aucun formalisme particulier (2°chambre civile, 2 juillet 2009, pourvoi n°08-17741 BICC n°714 du 15 janvier 2010 et Legifrance).

Selon l'article 554 CPC, peuvent intervenir en cause d'appel, dès lors qu'elles y ont intérêt, les personnes qui n'ont été ni parties, ni représentées en première instance ou qui y ont figuré en une autre qualité. A cette condition liée à l'intérêt à agir, s'ajoute celle résultant de l'article 325 du même code selon lequel l'intervention n'est recevable que si elle se rattache aux prétentions des parties par un lien suffisant. A cet égard, la chambre mixte de la Cour de cassation a jugé dans un arrêt du 9 nov. 2007, (n° 06-19. 508), que l'appréciation de l'intérêt à agir de l'intervenant volontaire à une instance et celle du lien suffisant qui doit exister entre ses demandes et les prétentions originaires relèvent du pouvoir souverain des juges du fond. Voir aussi : Ch. Com., 13 juin 1984, Bull. 1984, IV, n° 196 ; 3e Ch. Civ., 1er juillet 1987, Bull. 1987, III, n° 137 ; 3e Ch. Civ., 9 octobre 1991, Bull. 1991, III, n° 236 ; 3e Ch. Civ., 30 juin 1993, pourvoi n° 91-14. 210 ; 1ère Ch. Civ., 21 novembre 1995, Bull. 1995, I, n° 419 ; Ch. Com., 16 décembre 1997, pourvoi n° 95-12. 312 ; 3e Ch. Civ., 12 juin 2001, pourvoi n° 99-19. 814 ; 3e Ch. Civ., 4 avril 2002, Bull. 2002, II, n° 79 ; 1ère Ch. Civ., 10 janvier 2006, Bull. 2006, I, n° 6). En revanche, la Cour de cassation se réserve, comme toujours, la possibilité de censurer une absence ou insuffisance de motifs sur ce lien (3e Ch. Civ., 30 juin 1999, Bull. 1999, III, n° 151 ; Ch. Com., 28 avril 2004, pourvoi n° 01-14. 927).

So, specific meaning within the contet of civil procedure and here, no doubt, with regard to the "mesure probatoires". It would be helpful to know their nature. Together, it should now start to make sense within the context. Easy to overlook.
