Cross-Defendant's Exhibit FAQ

What's the difference between cross-defendant and third-party defendant?

A cross-defendant is an existing party (usually a co-defendant) who is sued via cross-complaint. A third-party defendant is a new party brought into the case by the original defendant.

How should I label cross-defendant exhibits?

Common formats include XD-1, XD-2 or CD-A, CD-B. Coordinate with other parties to ensure clear identification of each party's exhibits.

Can a party be both defendant and cross-defendant?

Yes, this is common in multi-party litigation. Use your primary designation (defendant) for main case exhibits and cross-defendant designation when responding to cross-claims.
