回复：提上来问--关于counter claim,wxc2008和老猫请进：

You did not say whether this is a claim in state court of federal court. In federal courts, most of the state courts procedures follow the federal rule of civil procedure anyway, no suprises are allowed.

If you don't answer, everything in the counterclaim is presumed admitted. Depends on the jurisdiction, you can deny in the answer but don't have to list the reason for denial. However, once you deny, the attorney of the other party should have been alerted to ask you why. Under federal rule, anything related to the claim or defense is discoverable so that you can not hide, unless the information is privileged or a defense theory, not related to any facts. Even if you can hide the information until the trial, once the attorney of the party hears this he will object and the court will strike it because it is prejudicial to them.
