A quick definition of party of the first part:

Party of the first part: This is a fancy way of saying the first person or group mentioned in a legal document like a contract or deed. It's used so that the person writing the document doesn't have to keep repeating their name. The other person or group is called the "party of the second part". Nowadays, we usually just use short names or titles like "buyer" or "seller" instead of this old-fashioned phrase.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Party of the first part is a term used in legal documents like contracts and deeds to refer to the first party mentioned in the document. This is done to avoid repeating their name throughout the document. The other party is referred to as the "party of the second part".

For example, in a contract between John Smith and Jane Doe, John Smith would be referred to as the party of the first part and Jane Doe would be referred to as the party of the second part.

This term is considered archaic and is not commonly used in modern contractual practice. Instead, parties are identified by their names or by an identifier such as buyer, seller, licensee, licensor, lessee, or lessor.

Overall, party of the first part is a legal term used to identify the first party mentioned in a document and is used to avoid repetition of their name throughout the document.
