What is third party notice?

Third party notice  is a governed by  Order  1  rr.14-23  of the Civil Procedure Act.  The third party procedure is the procedure  under which a party who  is not an original  party to the proceedings is brought  into the suit  by defendant  on the ground that  in  case the defendant  is found liable,  such third party  will  have  to  contribute or  indemnify the defendant.  Third party notice  is applied for  by the defendant.  In order  the same  to  be applied for,  the  defendant must  make sure that  he claims contribution to  indemnity from third party. Again, the claim for  contribution or  indemnity from third part  should be in respect  of the  defendant’s  liability to the plaintiff;  that  is, third party will  be properly joined if  the wrongful act  arises from the  same  cause of action as that  of plaintiff  against the defendant.
