FAQ
Rule 11. Signing of Pleadings, Motions, and Other Papers; Sanctions. (a) Signatures. (1) Every pleading, written motion, and other paper of a party represented by an attorney shall be signed by at least one attorney of record in his or her individual name, whose address shall be stated.
Rule 12-I(a) provides that a moving party must seek consent of other affected parties prior to the filing of a motion, except with respect to Rule 11 motions for imposition of sanctions. In these instances, a good faith effort to resolve the disputed issues is required.
If a pleading sets forth a claim for relief to which the adverse party is not required to serve a responsive pleading, the adverse party may assert at the trial any defense in law or fact to that claim for relief.
There are four defenses that may be waived if not made by a Rule 12 motion: Lack of Personal Jurisdiction (Rule 12(b)(2)); Improper Venue (Rule 12(b)(3)); Insufficiency of Process (Rule 12(b)(4)); and Insufficiency of Service of Process (Rule 12(b)(5).)
(A) A defendant must serve an answer within 21 days after being served with the summons and complaint.
A party may move for a more definite statement of a pleading to which a responsive pleading is allowed but which is so vague or ambiguous that the party cannot reasonably prepare a response. The motion must be made before filing a responsive pleading and must point out the defects complained of and the details desired.
You should respond to the counterclaim as though it were a Statement of Claim and you were drafting a Defence: respond to every paragraph ? you can do this paragraph by paragraph if necessary; deny any allegations of fact that you do not admit ? you will be deemed to admit facts that you forget to plead to; and.
Rule 12 substitutes the word "file" for serve and requires that the responsive pleading be filed within the time prescribed by this rule as opposed to serving the pleading as is the case under FRCP 12. By using this terminology, it is believed that arguments can be avoided as to when a pleading was served.
