There are two sides to every argument: (1) the claim, and (2) the counterclaim. The first is a statement of the party's point, or argument for something. The second is a rebuttal, or argument opposing the claim.
The rule differentiates counterclaim and crossclaim. While they are both independent actions, counterclaim is only brought by the defendant against the plaintiff, crossclaim can be brought by the defendant against a co-party or by a plaintiff against a co-party.
In a court of law, a party's claim is a counterclaim if one party asserts claims in response to the claims of another. In other words, if a plaintiff initiates a lawsuit and a defendant responds to the lawsuit with claims of his or her own against the plaintiff, the defendant's claims are counterclaims.
If you filed an answer and a counterclaim, the Plaintiff will likely file a response to your counterclaim.If you filed a motion, a hearing will be scheduled for the court to make a decision. After your motion is resolved (and assuming the case is not dismissed), the case will move forward from there.
You have to answer the counterclaims. They have the same effect as your lawsuit. It is not wise to proceed with litigation without an attorney.
An answer to a counterclaim is a written response by a Plaintiff to a Defendant's counterclaim. The answer to counterclaim must also state defenses to each of the Defendant's counterclaims in short, plain statements.
The plaintiff must give you responses to your request for admissions within 30 days. You do not need to do anything if you do not get a response. The plaintiff has 30 days to deny or object to the statements.
An answer to a counterclaim is a written response by a Plaintiff to a Defendant's counterclaim. The answer to counterclaim must also state defenses to each of the Defendant's counterclaims in short, plain statements.
A counterclaim is a responsive pleading (legal writing) that allows you to ask the court for certain relief. For example, if you file an answer, you are simply responding to your spouse's requests in the divorce complaint.
