(2) As between the defendant by whom the third party notice has been served and the third party, the court may give any judgment or make any order which might properly have been given or made if the claim against the third party had been made in a separate action.

(3) A defendant shall not, except in accordance with an order of the court, enforce any judgment given in his favour against a third party until any judgment given in favour of the plaintiff against the defendant in the same action has been satisfied.
