A third party complaint or impleader is an action by the defendant that brings a
third party not previously named into a lawsuit. The third party complaint must be
accompanied by the appropriate filing fee.
A third party plaintiff must serve the third party complaint along with summons,
CIS and TAN and must abide by the rules covering service of process. A third party
defendant must reply to the complaint or risk having a default entered for failure to
respond. If default is not timely filed, the third party complaint may be dismissed
pursuant to R. 1:13- 7.
