There shall be a reply to a counterclaim denominated as such, an answer to an interpleader complaint or third-party complaint, and an answer to a cross-claim that contains a demand for an answer. If no demand is made, the cross-claim shall be deemed denied or avoided.
claim is a claim by one party against a coparty (e.g., a defendant claiming against another defendant, or a plaintiff claiming against another plaintiff, arising out of the original complaint.)
Cross-claims are usually filed because the defendant believes that the other party owes them money and/or is responsible for the damage caused. Like a statement of claim, a cross-claim must outline the pleadings to the proceeding and which remedy is sought.
For example, if Trucker John hired some loaders to load the furniture, and they were the ones that damaged the furniture, then Trucker John could crossclaim the loaders for all or part of the damage to the furniture.
If you file a Cross-Complaint, you have to let the cross-defendant know formally that you are suing. This is called "service." You have to have all papers "served" on every party in the lawsuit. You cannot serve the lawsuit yourself. It must be served by someone who is not a party to the action, at least 18 years old.
A response to a cross-complaint generally must be filed within 30 days of being served with the cross-complaint. Code of Civil Procedure 432.10. If you learn later that you need to file a cross-complaint you can make a motion to ask for an order allowing you to file a cross-complaint.
Write a short and plain statement of the crossclaim(s). Do not make legal arguments. State as briefly as possible the facts showing that you, the defendant / crossclaim plaintiff, are entitled to the damages or other relief sought.
