Starting cross‑claim
15.02 Starting cross‑claim
A respondent who wants to start a cross‑claim against any party or person must file a notice of cross‑claim, in accordance with Form 31.
A notice of cross‑claim must include the following:
the cross‑claimant’s name and address;
the cross‑claimant’s address for service that is the same as in the principal proceeding;
if a cross‑claimant sues in a representative capacity—a statement of that fact.
Principal proceeding is defined in the Dictionary.
A respondent who starts a cross‑claim is the cross‑claimant. The party or person against whom the cross‑claim is brought is the cross‑respondent.
A Registrar will fix a return date and place for hearing and endorse those details on the notice of cross‑claim.
