Work in pairs. Think of the meaning of the following notions: “cross-claim”, “counterclaim”, “discovery”, “deposition” and “interrogation” within the context of Civil Law. Listen to other student’s ideas and add them to your list.
Work in pairs. In the text below find the synonyms and antonyms of the words in the box.

When the defendant is notified he has been sued, he must file an “answer”. His answer may deny everything in the complaint, admit some of the plaintiffs claim and deny the rest, or admit most or all of the plaintiff’s claim. If the defendant feels that he is the injured party, he might answer the plaintiffs suit with a lawsuit of his own, called a “counterclaim”. Sometimes a plaintiff or defendant may have a claim, ancillary to the main lawsuit against a co-plaintiff or a co-defendant; this claim is stated in a “cross-claim”. The parties to any lawsuit can challenge each other’s pleadings by means of “motions”. For example, the defendant might file a motion to dismiss the complaint because the complaint does not show that the plaintiff is entitled to relief. When the complaint or answer is vague, the opposing party can file a motion to make the complaint or answer definite. If a pleading contains irrelevant material, the opposing party can file a motion asking that such material be removed. The Rules of Civil Procedure permit the parties to a lawsuit to preserve the testimony of potential witnesses, and to obtain information or evidence from each other through various methods known collectively as “discovery”. The purpose of discovery is to permit all parties to prepare their cases well. “Depositions” may be taken from parties or witnesses, when a party, or witness, is questioned under oath, and his answers are recorded by a court reporter. The whole proceeding, questions and answers, is often transcribed into a typewritten form. A party may be compelled to answer “interrogations”(written questions propounded by the other party). A party may compel another party to allow the inspection of evidence and other items. When physical or mental condition is an issue in a case, a party may request the court to order a medical examination. The parties may be required to make various admissions (disclosures) important to the case.
