USE NOTES
This form of verdict can, and should, be used where there is a single party plaintiff and a single party defendant who has filed a counterclaim. The caption of the case will need to be added and the title can simply read - Verdict for Plaintiff; Counterclaim.
If the plaintiffs are plural and only one sum is to be awarded jointly, then the only change in the form will be adding the letter "s" after the word plaintiff.
If there are multiple parties defendant but the verdict, if any, is to be against all of the defendants in like amount, the counterclaim is for the defendants jointly and but one sum could be awarded to them jointly, then the only change needed would be to add, following the word defendant, the letter "s".
