Summary
Third parties is quite a significant institute of procedural law based on the principle of procedural economy and the duty to establish the truth in court. An essential feature of a third party’s participation in legal proceedings is the need for that person to protect his or her legal interests and to intervene in the dispute between the parties on his or her own initiative. A judge is not entitled to summon a party to a civil case on his or her own initiative, if the party to the dispute has not made such a request. The third party, without his or her independent claims, is one of the parties to the dispute in support of the case. When deciding on the admission or summoning of a third party, the judge must assess whether the boundaries of the subject of the claim and the claim allow the protection of the legal interest of the third party concerned. Economic interest and actual interest are not grounds for admitting or summoning a third party to a civil case.
