Arbitration Answering Statement And Counterclaim-Request

ARBITRATION ANSWERING STATEMENT AND COUNTERCLAIM OR JOINDER/CONSOLIDATION REQUEST. This form is filed by a respondent in an arbitration proceeding to respond to the claims made against them by the claimant. The respondent is required to submit this statement within a specific period after receiving the notice of arbitration from the claimant. A Counterclaim is a claim made by the respondent against the claimant in response to the original claim. The Counterclaim is included in the Arbitration Answering Statement and sets out the respondent's own claims against the claimant. A Joinder/Consolidation Request is a separate attachment that can be filed by a party to an arbitration proceeding to request that additional parties be joined to the arbitration, or that separate arbitration proceedings be consolidated into a single proceeding. This is typically done when the claims and issues between the parties are interconnected or arise from the same facts or circumstances. www.FormsWorkflow.com
