Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Deputy Clerk's Name] Oakland County Clerk's Office [Address] Oakland, Michigan [ZIP Code] Subject: Filing of Cross claim and Affirmative Defenses in [Case Name], Oakland County Case No. [Case Number] Dear Deputy Clerk, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally file a cross claim and affirmative defenses in the above-mentioned case, currently pending in the Oakland County Court. As a defendant in this matter, I believe it is vital to assert my rights and present my position. As per the Michigan Court Rules, Rule 2.114(A)(2), I am requesting that the Court add a cross claim to this lawsuit. The purpose of this cross claim is to assert a claim against another party involved in the same case. [Provide a brief explanation of the basis for the cross claim, including relevant parties and factual background]. I have also identified certain affirmative defenses that I intend to raise in defense against the claims made by the plaintiff. These defenses include, but are not limited to: 1. Statute of Limitations: I assert that the plaintiff's claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations as they failed to comply with the required time period to initiate the lawsuit. 2. Lack of Subject Jurisdiction: I argue that the Court lacks the authority to hear this matter due to jurisdictional deficiencies. 3. Failure to State a Claim: I contend that the plaintiff's complaint fails to allege sufficient facts or law to support their cause of action and should be dismissed accordingly. 4. Contributory/Comparative Negligence: I allege that the plaintiff's own actions or negligence contributed to or caused the damages they are seeking compensation for, thus limiting or barring their recovery. I have attached a copy of the complete cross claim and affirmative defenses, along with their respective legal basis, for your reference. I kindly request that you file these documents with the court and provide me with a conformed copy for my records. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address] if you require any additional documents or information. I appreciate your assistance in this matter and look forward to the prompt filing of the cross claim and affirmative defenses. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
