Spanish term

Contestación a la demanda reconvencional

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
This is from a customer who originally sued a company for not fulfilling its contractual obligations. The company has countersued for back payment. In the document I am translating, the customer is providing more facts to contest the countersuit under the title "hechos de la contestación a la demanda reconvencional."

I'm not sure how to phrase this "legalistically." Thanks!

Peer comment(s):

neutral Andrew Bramhall : You 'contest' a counterclaim, you don't really 'make a response' to it !//el sentido jurídico de contestar es una de las escasas ocasiones en inglés donde se la traduce literalmente,es decir, como' contest' en vez de 'answer/reply/respond' confíamelo!!!

'Contestar' here is the literal meaning, 'to contest', which means to oppose a legal or other type of decision a defendant disagrees with. Outside of contesting decisions, of course, more usual translations are 'to answer', 'reply' or 'respond'.
