A quick definition of party:

A party is a person or group of people who are involved in a legal situation. This could be someone who has a direct interest in an agreement or someone who is being sued. A "third party" is someone who is not directly involved in the situation. In a lawsuit, the parties are the person bringing the case (the plaintiff) and the person defending against it (the defendant).

A more thorough explanation:

In legal terms, a party refers to a person or group that is involved in a legal transaction or lawsuit. This can include:

  • A person who has a direct interest in an agreement or contract
  • A plaintiff or petitioner who brings a case to court
  • A defendant or respondent who is defending against a case

For example, if two people are signing a contract, they are both parties to the agreement. If one person sues another for damages, the person bringing the lawsuit is the plaintiff and the person being sued is the defendant.

A "third party" is someone who is not directly involved in the transaction or lawsuit, but may be affected by it. For instance, if two people are signing a contract and a third person will be impacted by the terms of the agreement, they are a third party.

Understanding who the parties are in a legal situation is important for determining rights and responsibilities, as well as for resolving disputes.
