Counterclaim in Europe
Definition of Counterclaim
If the defendant in an action has a claim against the plaintiff, which he might have asserted by bringing a separate action, he may raise it in the existing action as a counterclaim by adding to his statement of defence a statement of the facts on which he bases his claim, and of the relief which he claims against the plaintiff, either alone, or jointly with others. (Order XIX, r. 3 ; Order XXI, r. 10)
