(1) This part applies to—
(a) a proceeding started by originating claim or third-party notice;

claim or third-party notice.
Note 2 Third-party notice includes a fourth-party notice, fifth-party notice etc
(see r 322 (2) (c)).

originating application), this part applies to a proceeding started by
an originating application only if the court orders the plaintiff to file
