1. If the Attorney General or a designee
of the Attorney General pursuant to NRS
357.070 elects not to intervene in an action pursuant to NRS 357.080 , the private plaintiff has the
same rights in conducting the action as the Attorney General or the Attorney
Generals designee would have had. A copy of each pleading or other paper filed
in the action, and a copy of the transcript of each deposition taken, must be
mailed to the Attorney General or the Attorney Generals designee if the
Attorney General or the Attorney Generals designee so requests and pays the
cost thereof.
2. For good cause shown, the Attorney
General or the Attorney Generals designee may intervene in an action in which
he or she has previously declined to intervene, if the interest of the State or
a political subdivision in recovery of the money or property involved is not
being adequately represented by the private plaintiff.
3. If the Attorney General or the Attorney
Generals designee so intervenes, the private plaintiff retains primary
responsibility for conducting the action and any recovery must be apportioned
as if the Attorney General or the Attorney Generals designee had not
intervened.
