Third Person

Defined in 1 dictionary — Bouvier (1914)

Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia

John Bouvier; revised by Francis Rawle · 1914

Any person other than one of the parties to the contract or his representatives. Pollock, Contr. 209. But it is difficult to give a very definite idea of third persons; for sometimes those who are not parties to the contract, but who represent the rights of the original parties, as executors, are not to be considered third persons. See 1 Bouvier, Inst n. 1335.
