Mabel's claim is a counterclaim, which is a claim made by a defendant against a plaintiff in response to the plaintiff's claim. In this scenario, Mabel is alleging that Loren breached their contract and owes her money. The counterclaim will be heard and decided upon along with Loren's original claim, in the same court case.
