counteraction

Read a random definition: annoyance

A quick definition of counteraction:

Counteraction is when someone responds to a claim made against them by making their own claim against the person who made the original claim. This is also called a counterclaim. For example, if someone sues you for money, you might counteract by making a claim that they owe you money too. There are two types of counterclaims: compulsory and permissive. Compulsory counterclaims must be made in the same lawsuit, while permissive counterclaims can be made in a separate lawsuit.

A more thorough explanation:

Counteraction is a legal term that refers to a type of claim made by a defendant in response to a plaintiff's claim. It is also known as a counterclaim.

For example, if a person sues another person for breach of contract, the defendant may file a counterclaim for damages caused by the plaintiff's actions. This is a way for the defendant to seek relief and defend themselves in the same lawsuit.

There are two types of counterclaims: compulsory and permissive. A compulsory counterclaim is one that must be asserted in the same lawsuit because it relates to the same subject matter as the plaintiff's claim. A permissive counterclaim is one that does not have to be asserted in the same lawsuit because it does not relate to the same subject matter as the plaintiff's claim.

Overall, counteraction is a legal tool that allows defendants to assert their own claims and seek relief in response to a plaintiff's claim.
