Well, there are two sides to every story of the person / company against whom the complaint can file a so-called cross-complaint, which is only their version of the case.
The lawsuit is the plaintiff and the defendant. The applicant is the person or company that the complaint files. The defendant is the person or company who made the complaint against. If itseveral plaintiffs or defendants, then they are called parties.
Once a complaint is filed, the defendants have 30 days to respond. If the defendant does not respond for any reason, you can ask the court, your case without the defendant present and listen to a decision.
