Bring a third party into the action without retyping defendant and third party details

Defendants bringing a third party claim repeat defendant identity, third party defendant names and addresses, counsel contacts, and court file references on every Form 29A Third Party Claim. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Ontario Superior Court of Justice — ontariocourts.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): FORM 29A- Courts of Justice Act. Third Party Claim — rcp-29a

What this form is about

Form rcp-29a is Form 29A — Third Party Claim under the Courts of Justice Act and Rules of Civil Procedure, where a defendant claims contribution or indemnity from a person not yet a party — confirm joinder on ontariocourts.ca.

Before you start: what to gather
