| Once the summons and the copy of the plaint have been duly served, the defendant must file
an answer in writing with the court within fifteen days from the date of service. The defendant may, in an answer, make a counter-claim,
provided that the counter- claim must have reasonable connection with the original plaint, otherwise the court shall order the defendant
to enter a separate case. In making an answer or a counter-claim, the defendant may raise another debt owed by the plaintiff for the
purpose of setting-off. Where the defendant makes a counter-claim in the answer, the plaintiff shall, within fifteen day from the date
of service of such answer, file with the court an answer to the counter-claim. It should be noted that the defendant has no duty to
give notice of intention to defend even where the plaintiff has claimed only for a liquidated demand. But in such a case, the court
may order the case to be tried summarily as a simple case in which the defendant shall be summoned to appear in court and to
make an answer on any day not later than five days from the date of service. The plaintiff upon whom the defendant has served an
answer, however, has no duty to make any further reply because there shall always be an implied jointer of issue on that answer.
