similar to impleading a third party
Explanation:
Or, if you care, "impleader." There is no direct equivalency as the question indicates. Bringing, after you are sued, a third-party in who you assert is _really_ the one responsible. You may ask how the witness does this -- the witness has provided, I intuit, the factual bases for "impleading" the third.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Derek Gill Franßen: IMHO the witness is probably pursuing claims against another defendant in an American court and has impleaded the defendant of this (German) case. The attorney is arguing that US-lawsuit is pending (the defendant shouldn't have to go through this twice).

impleader/ compulsory joinder (AE); third-party ('Part 20') notice (BE)


Explanation:
Note in the US the opp. = permissive joinder.

I agree with the other answers - only impleader in Eng. & Wales is crim. and not civ.


US/Pennsylvania website:
'Rule 2227. *Compulsory joinder*. (a) Persons having only a joint interest
in the subject matter of an action must be joined on the ...'

I lean towards comp. joinder as the Ger wording 'in den (*gleichen?*) Prozeß einbezogen'.

NB in GB: joinder as CO-plaintiff/ CO- claimant or CO-defendant in the SAME action.

Claimant -> sues Defendant & joins in Co-Defendant

A third party is added by the defendant in a SEPARATE TP action for a 'contribution & indemnity' in case the defendant loses and needs financial help.

Claimant -> sues Defendant who -> sues TP in sep. TP ('Part 20')proceedings
