A more thorough explanation: Taking third party proceedings is a legal process where a defendant in a lawsuit brings a third party into the case in order to pass on liability or claim contribution from that third party. This allows the defendant to shift some or all of the responsibility for the plaintiff’s claim onto the third party.
Example: In the lawsuit, the defendant sought to take third party proceedings against the subcontractor for contribution and indemnity.
