The proposed third party proceedings did not fall within Order 16 r.1 because there was no claim for contribution or indemnity and no sufficient nexus between the bank's letter of credit transaction and the dispute between Pureton and B.K.R.; alternatively the court would refuse to exercise its discretion to allow third party proceedings because they would cause gross inconvenience, require adding many parties and duplicate a separate pending action between the bank and B.K.R.; accordingly Master O'Donnell's Order and the Third Party Notice were set aside.
