(2) the defendant
The defendant is an administrative organ or an authorized organization that performs administrative functions because the plaintiff believes that its specific administrative act violates the law and infringes on its legitimate rights and interests and is sued for responsibility. The defendant in an administrative lawsuit is generally determined according to the following circumstances:
1) If a citizen, legal person or other organization brings a lawsuit directly to the people's court, the administrative organ that has undertaken the specific administrative act is the defendant.

If the defendant should be changed, and the plaintiff does not agree to the change, the prosecution shall be dismissed.
(3) A third person
A third person refers to a specific administrative act disputed with an administrative case or a person who has an interest in the outcome of the case. Other citizens, legal persons or other organizations that have an interest in the specific administrative act that brings a lawsuit may apply to participate in the lawsuit as a third party, or be notified by the people's court to participate in the lawsuit. "Having an interest in the specific administrative act in which a lawsuit is filed" means having a legal relationship of rights and obligations with the specific administrative act being sued. The same specific administrative act of an administrative organ involves more than two interested parties, and some of the interested parties file a lawsuit against the specific administrative act. The people's court shall notify other interested parties who have not filed a lawsuit to participate in the lawsuit as a third party. If an administrative organ punishes two or more people who are both illegal for the same illegal fact, and some of them refuse to accept the punishment decision and bring a lawsuit in a people's court, the people's court shall notify them to participate in the lawsuit as a third person if it finds that the other punished people who have not brought a lawsuit have legal interests with the specific administrative act being sued. If the defendant should be added and the plaintiff does not agree to the addition, the people's court shall notify him to participate in the litigation as a third party. A third party has the right to file a lawsuit related to this case; If you are dissatisfied with the judgment of the people's court of first instance, you have the right to appeal.
To sum up, the court can only accept the administrative litigation brought by the administrative counterpart after the plaintiff's qualification in the administrative litigation law is recognized. If the administrative counterpart wants to get corresponding relief for his losses, he should first understand the litigant of administrative litigation, otherwise the relief way of administrative litigation will not help.
