    This does not mean, however, that permissive intervention under OCGA § 9-11-24 (b) (2) would not be appropriate, as the District's claim and the main action clearly have common questions of law and fact. See Branch v. Maxwell, 203 Ga. App. 553 (1) ( 417 S.E.2d 176) (1992). Whether or not to grant a motion for intervention brought under OCGA § 9-11-24 (b) (2) is within the discretion of the trial court, but the trial court should keep in mind the objective of the CPA's liberal joinder rules — to join in all parties needed to resolve the whole matter in one lawsuit if possible.
