A quick definition of cross-demand:

Term: CROSS-DEMAND

Definition: A cross-demand is when one party makes a demand that opposes the demand made by another party. It is a legal or procedural right that can be asserted in a court of law. For example, if one person sues another for damages, the defendant may make a cross-demand for compensation for any harm caused by the plaintiff.

A more thorough explanation:

A cross-demand is a legal term that refers to a demand made by one party in opposition to the demand made by another party.

For example, if Party A sues Party B for breach of contract and demands payment of $10,000, Party B may file a cross-demand against Party A for $5,000 for damages caused by Party A's breach of contract.
Another example could be in a divorce case where one spouse demands alimony payments from the other spouse, and the other spouse files a cross-demand for child custody.

These examples illustrate how a cross-demand is a legal tool used by parties to assert their rights and make counterclaims against the opposing party's demands.
