(1)

A defendant who has filed an acknowledgment of service or a defence may make an additional claim for contribution or indemnity against a person who is already a party to the proceedings by—

filing a notice containing a statement of the nature and grounds of his additional claim; and

(b)

serving the notice on that party.

(2)

A defendant may file and serve a notice under this rule—

(a)

without the court’s permission, if he files and serves it—

(i)

with his defence; or

(ii)

if his additional claim for contribution or indemnity is against a party added to the claim later, within 28 days after that party files his defence; or

(b)

at any other time with the court’s permission.
