cross-action

Read a random definition: c.a.f.

A quick definition of cross-action:

Term: CROSS-ACTION

Definition: A cross-action is a legal term that refers to two different things. Firstly, it can mean an action taken by one party against another party in a lawsuit. Secondly, it can refer to a cross-claim, which is a claim made by one defendant against another defendant in the same lawsuit.

Simply put, a cross-action is when one person takes legal action against another person in a lawsuit, or when one defendant makes a claim against another defendant in the same lawsuit.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A cross-action is a legal term that refers to two different things:

  1. an action taken by one party against another party in response to the original action taken by the other party
  2. a cross-claim made by one defendant against another defendant in a lawsuit

For example, if someone sues you for damages in a car accident, you might file a cross-action against them for your own damages. Or, if two defendants are sued in a lawsuit, one defendant might file a cross-claim against the other defendant for their share of the damages.

These examples illustrate the definition of a cross-action because they both involve a legal action taken in response to another legal action. In the first example, the cross-action is a response to being sued, and in the second example, the cross-action is a response to being named as a defendant in a lawsuit.
