plea in reconvention

A quick definition of plea in reconvention:

A plea is when someone accused of a crime says if they are guilty or not guilty. Sometimes, they can also say they don't contest or admit guilt. A plea in reconvention is when the accused person also makes a claim against the person who accused them. There are different types of pleas, like a guilty plea, where the accused admits to the crime, or a not-guilty plea, where they deny doing it. A plea bargain is when the accused and the prosecutor agree on a plea. Sometimes, a plea can be made conditionally, meaning the accused can appeal if something goes wrong. In civil cases, a plea is a response to a claim made against someone.

A more thorough explanation:

A plea in reconvention is a type of plea in which the defendant in a civil case makes a counterclaim against the plaintiff. This means that the defendant is not only defending themselves against the plaintiff's claim, but they are also making their own claim against the plaintiff.

For example, if a plaintiff sues a defendant for breach of contract, the defendant may make a plea in reconvention by counterclaiming that the plaintiff also breached the contract. This allows the defendant to not only defend themselves but also to seek damages from the plaintiff.

Plea in reconvention is a common practice in civil law systems, particularly in Louisiana. It is also known as a "compensatory plea" or "set-off plea."
