(a) a case by a respondent against any person (whether or not already a party) for contribution or indemnity or some other remedy; or
(b) where an additional case has been made against a person who is not already a party, any case made by that person against any other person (whether or not already a party).

(3) A respondent may make an additional case—
(a) without the Enforcement Committee’s permission, if it files that case with its answer; or
(b) at any other time, with the permission of the Enforcement Committee.

 

(4) A respondent who has filed an acknowledgment of service or an answer, may make an additional case for a contribution or indemnity against an existing party to the proceedings:
(a) without the Enforcement Committee’s permission, if it files that claim with its answer, or, if the additional case is a claim against a party added to the case later, within 21 (twenty-one) days after that party files its answer; or
(b) at any other time, with the permission of the Enforcement Committee.
