Minn. R. Civ. P. 14.07
As amended through October 28, 2024
The third-party plaintiff may demand judgment in the plaintiffs favor against the third-party defendant. In that event, the third-party defendant must defend under Rule 12 against the plaintiffs claim as well as the third-party plaintiff's claim: and the action proceeds as if the plaintiff had sued both the third-party defendant and the third-party plaintiff.
