Cross claim

A crossclaim is a claim by a defendant against another named defendant. It must
be asserted in an answer to the plaintiff’s complaint. Since the crossclaim is part of the
answer, it must be served on all other parties in the same manner as an ordinary answer to
the complaint is served. A crossclaim for contribution or indemnification need not be
answered. See R. 4:7-5.
