cross-motion

Read a random definition: mactator

A quick definition of cross-motion:

A cross-motion is when one party in a court case asks for something that is similar to what the other party asked for. For example, if one party asks for a summary judgment, the other party might file a cross-motion asking for the same thing. It's like a competition to see who can get what they want from the court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A cross-motion is a competing request for relief or orders similar to that requested by another party against the cross-moving party. It is a written or oral application made to the court to make a specified ruling or order.

Example: If one party files a motion for summary judgment, the other party may file a cross-motion for summary judgment. This means that both parties are requesting the same relief from the court, but with different arguments or evidence to support their position.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a cross-motion is a competing request for relief or orders similar to that requested by another party. In this case, both parties are seeking a summary judgment, but with different arguments or evidence. The court will consider both motions and make a ruling based on the evidence presented by both parties.
