Impleading refers to the act of bringing one or more additional parties into a legal case or lawsuit. It is a legal term that primarily applies to civil litigation and formal legal proceedings. When a person, entity, or organization is impleaded, they are being joined as a party to the existing lawsuit, allowing them to participate in the proceedings and present their own arguments and evidence.
Impleading generally occurs when the original defendant in a case believes that another party is partially or entirely responsible for the claims being asserted against them. By impleading this additional party, the original defendant seeks to shift some or all of the blame or liability onto them. This can happen when the original defendant believes that the third party is responsible for causing the harm, contributing to the damages, or otherwise has a legal obligation related to the dispute.
The impleaded party is typically given the opportunity to respond to the allegations made against them and defend their position. This may involve hiring legal representation and filing appropriate legal documents with the court. The impleaded party may also assert its own counterclaims, cross-claims, or third-party claims against other parties involved in the case, depending on the specific circumstances.
Overall, impleading is a legal process that allows for the inclusion of additional parties in a lawsuit, enabling them to assert their rights, present their arguments, and participate fully in the legal proceedings.
The word "impleading" has its origins in Middle English. It is a combination of the prefix "im-" (meaning "in" or "into") and the verb "plead" (meaning "to make a formal statement in defense or justification of something").
The term "impleading" was derived from the Old French word "emplaidier" which meant "to sue" or "to accuse". This Old French word, in turn, came from the Latin word "implaider" which had a similar meaning of "to bring a legal action" or "to accuse".
Over time, the word "impleading" came to be used in English legal language to refer to the act of bringing someone into a lawsuit as a defendant or a plaintiff. It is commonly used in the context of legal proceedings and litigation.
