A work object may identify no work parties, one, or many work parties. The work party role associated with each work party identifies why a party is present, and may determine which properties are defined for that party.

Work party is nothing it’s a group of people . This work party is a group of person whom in between case processing you need to inform. Like if it’s a dispute case then we need to inform all the parties related to the dispute.

so let suppose you need to communicate to a group of people like Legal system,Party who filed case.
