Rule  1010. Dismissal or separate trial of third-party complaint.

In  exercising  its  discretion, the court shall consider whether the controversy between the  third-party  plaintiff  and  the third-party defendant will unduly delay  the determination of the main action or prejudice the substantial rights  of any party.
