Article 199 sexe: Default on a counterclaim
Statutory text (Thai original)
ในกรณีที่โจทก์มิได้ให้การแก้ฟ้องแย้งของจำเลยภายในระยะเวลาที่กำหนดไว้ ให้นำบทบัญญัติในส่วนที่ ๑ นี้มาใช้บังคับเพียงเท่าที่เกี่ยวกับฟ้องแย้งเช่นว่านั้นโดยอนุโลม
English translation
Where the plaintiff has not filed an answer to the defendant's counterclaim within the prescribed period, the provisions of this Part 1 shall apply mutatis mutandis only insofar as they concern such counterclaim.

Firm annotation
Section 199 sex closes Part 1 by extending the default of answer regime to the mirror situation: a plaintiff who fails to answer the defendant's counterclaim. Because a counterclaim makes the plaintiff a defendant to that claim, it is logical that the rules on default of answer, Sections 197 to 199 quinque, should apply to the plaintiff. The section does so by way of mutatis mutandis application, but expressly limits it to matters concerning the counterclaim, so the plaintiff's own claim is unaffected. In practice this means a plaintiff can be in default, face a default judgment, and use the new trial remedy, all confined to the counterclaim.
Why this matters in practice
If you are the plaintiff and the defendant files a counterclaim, do not overlook it: you must file an answer to that counterclaim within the deadline, or you risk a default judgment on the counterclaim just as a defendant would. Calendar the counterclaim answer date separately from your own claim. Your original claim continues, but a default on the counterclaim can leave you liable on it while still pursuing your own. When facing a counterclaim, get proper representation to manage both tracks.
Foire aux questions
Que se passe-t-il si le demandeur ne répond pas à une demande reconventionnelle ?
En vertu de l'article 199 sex, les règles de défaut de réponse de la partie 1 s'appliquent mutatis mutandis au demandeur, mais seulement en ce qui concerne la demande reconventionnelle, de sorte que le demandeur peut être en défaut sur celle-ci.
Un défaut de paiement sur la demande reconventionnelle affecte-t-il la demande propre du demandeur ?
Non. L'article 199 limite l'application mutatis mutandis aux questions concernant la demande reconventionnelle, de sorte que la demande initiale du demandeur continue d'exister indépendamment.
