A quick definition of third person:
Third person: A term used to describe someone who is not directly involved in a situation, but may still be affected by it. This person is not one of the main people involved, but may have some connection to the situation. Another term for third person is "third party".
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Third person refers to someone who is not directly involved in a legal case, agreement, or other transaction, but may still be affected by it. This person is also known as a third party or outside party.
Examples:
- In a divorce case, the couple getting divorced are the first and second parties. Any other person involved, such as a child custody evaluator, would be considered a third person.
- When two companies enter into a contract, a third party may be brought in to provide services or goods related to the contract.
These examples illustrate how a third person is not directly involved in the main transaction or agreement, but may still have a role to play or be impacted by the outcome.
