What is a response to a claim called?

Counterclaim Technically, this is a defence and counterclaim. If filed by the debtor, in addition to disputing that they owe you money they file a counterclaim alleging that you owe them money.

What is the response pack?

Pack sent to a defendant by the court or claimant following the issue of a claim containing forms for acknowledging service of the claim and indicating whether it will be defended or liability will be admitted and whether offers will be made to pay the claim by instalments.

What is a reply in a pleading?

A reply is often much shorter than either the Statement of Claim or Defence which have preceded it. It is more of a summing up, tying up any loose ends from the previous pleadings, rather than putting forward any new basis for your claim.

What is form n9d?

Fill in this form if you wish to dispute all or part of the claim and/or make a claim against the claimant (a counterclaim). You have a limited number of days to complete and return this form to the court.

How do I respond to a claim form?

To reply to the claim, you will need to complete the forms contained in a response pack sent with the claim form (or with the particulars of the claim if they were sent separately). Make sure you read the guidance notes for defendants carefully before completing any forms.
