Court Procedure

Cross-Application

1 min read

An application made by a respondent in response to the applicant's claim — for example, filing a Form A or C2 to make their own financial or children claim within the existing proceedings.

In Plain English

This is when the person responding to a case makes their own formal claim back against the other person. For example, if you are sued for a financial settlement, you might file your own claim for a different outcome within the same case.
