Law/Patents - Law (general) | | German term or phrase: Streitverkündete | Mit Schriftsatz xx hat der Beklagte Herrn Hans Schmidt den Streit verkündet mit der Aufforderung, dem Rechtsstreit auf Seiten des Beklagten beizutreten. Mit Schriftsatz xx is **der Streitverkündete** auf Seiten des Beklagten beigetreten.
So far I've only found "person receiving the third-party notice" but I'm hoping there's a much shorter version! |

36 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1
1 hr confidence: third party
Explanation:
"Party notified of the possibility of intervention" is a bit too much of a mouthful. However, on checking what I used in a case of this kind last year, where this term came up a lot, I used this long explanation on the first occasion and thereafter simply wrote "third party", which can also be capitalised. In certain circumstances, I suppose "third party intervener" might fit, but actually this term refers - at least initially - simply to parties who are invited to intervene.

I would translate the excerpt given above as follows:
With brief dated xxxx, the Defendant Mr. XXXX has notified the dispute, with the request to intervene in the proceedings on behalf of the Defendant. (Alternatively, more precisely "..... with the request that the party notified intervene in the proceedings on behalf of the Defendant.")
With brief dated xxxx, the third party notified of the possibility of intervention intervened (alternatively: "joined in the proceedings") on behalf of the Defendant."
Then, the next time the Streitverkündete is mentioned, perhaps "the said third party".
It would be better, normally, to remove any personal names before posting a question.

Asker: Thanks, Astrid. It certainly seems that it should be either third party defendant or third party or even notified third party, depending on the rest of the sentence.
Asker: Thanks again and, by the way, I changed the name to a ficticious one. Can't be too careful!

| Note to reference poster
Asker: Thanks a lot - good to know it's a usual term in English - even if it sounds a bit clumsy!
Asker: Thanks again for the reference. However, in this case I'm not sure if it's the situation, as the defendant is a company and the "Streitverkündete" is a manager from that company, representing it. Perhaps that's what the definition of "impleader" covers, but I'm not 100% convinced.
