Definition of reply
A reply is a response to a statement or question made by someone else. In legal terms, a reply can refer to:
- The plaintiff's response to the defendant's counterclaim in federal court.
- The plaintiff's response to the defendant's plea or answer in common-law pleading.
Example 1: In a federal court case, the defendant files a counterclaim against the plaintiff. The plaintiff then files a reply to respond to the counterclaim.
Example 2: In a common-law pleading, the defendant files an answer to the plaintiff's complaint. The plaintiff then files a reply to respond to the defendant's answer.
Both examples illustrate how a reply is a response to a previous statement or question. In legal terms, a reply is a specific type of response that is filed in court to address a counterclaim or answer.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
