Cross-complaining is a legal term referring to a situation in which a defendant responds to a plaintiff's complaint by filing their own complaint against the plaintiff within the same legal action. This allows the defendant to assert their claims or grievances related to the case, potentially creating a counterclaim. It is often used in civil litigation to address disputes arising from the same set of circumstances or facts. Cross-complaining can complicate the legal proceedings but also provides a comprehensive resolution to all related issues in one forum.
