Hall satisfies transitivity
From Groupprops
This article gives the statement, and possibly proof, of a subgroup property (i.e., Hall subgroup) satisfying a subgroup metaproperty (i.e., transitive subgroup property)

Statement
Verbal statement
Any Hall subgroup of a Hall subgroup of a finite group, is a Hall subgroup in the whole group.
Facts used
Proof
Given: A finite group G, subgroups
such that H is a Hall subgroup of K and K is a Hall subgroup of G.
To prove: H is a Hall subgroup of G.
Proof: By fact (1), we have:
[G:H] = [G:K][K:H].
Now, since H is Hall in K, the order of H is relatively prime to [K:H].
By fact (2), the order of H divides the order of K, and since K is a Hall subgroup of G ,the order of K is relatively prime to [G:K]. Thus, the order of H is relatively prime to [G:K].
Thus, the order of H is relatively prime to the product [G:K][K:H], which, by the above equation, equals [G:H].
