counter claimant

A counterclaim is a claim (lawsuit) made by a defendant (the person getting sued).
Often times, if a person is taken to court they will file a claim against the person suing them.

This is called a counterclaim.

The person making the counterclaim is the counterclaimant.

counter plai ntiff

This is a situation where after having been sued the defendant then "sues back" thus becoming a counter plaintiff. In other words - in the same case he will be both defendant and counter-plaintiff.
