cause of action, and each and every part thereof, including a denial that Cross-Complainant was
damaged in the sum or sums alleged, or to be alleged, or any other sum or sums whatsoever.

or liability on the part of this answering Cross-Defendant, whether negligent, careless, unlawful or
whether as alleged, or otherwise, cross-complainants were injured or damaged in any of the
amounts alleged, or in any other manner or amount whatsoever. Cross-Defendant further denies
that this answering Cross-Defendant was negligent, careless, reckless, wanton, acted unlawfully or
is liable, whether in the manner alleged or otherwise.
FIRST AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
(COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE)
3. Answering Cross-Defendant is informed and believes and on such information and
belief alleges that the injury and damage, if any, alleged in the Cross-Complaint occurred and was

SECOND AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

sufficient to constitute a cause of action against this answering Cross-Defendant.

FOURTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
(NEGLIGENCE OF OTHERS)
6. Answering Cross-Defendant denies that Cross-Complainant was damaged as a
proximate result of any conduct on the part of this answering Cross-Defendant. This answering
Cross-Defendant affirmatively alleges that Cross-Complainant’s damages, if any, were proximately
caused by the independent conduct of third parties or entities whether or not parties to this action.
Cross-Complainant’s recovery against this answering Cross-Defendant, if any, must therefore be
reduced to the extent that those damages, if any, were caused by the independent conduct of third
parties.
FIFTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
(ACTIVE-PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE DEFENSE)
7. If this answering Cross-Defendant is found responsible in damages to Cross-
Complainant or some other party, whether as alleged or otherwise, then Cross-Defendant is
informed and believes and, on that basis alleges, that the liability will be predicated upon the active
conduct of Cross-Complainant, whether by negligence, breach of warranty, strict liability in tort or
otherwise, which unlawful conduct proximately caused the alleged incident and that cross-
complainants’ action against Cross-Defendant is barred by that active and affirmative conduct.
SIXTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

8. Answering Cross-Defendant alleges that Cross-Complainant has failed to take
reasonable steps to mitigate its damages, if any.
SEVENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

applicable statute of limitations, including California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 337, 337.1,

herein on behalf of Cross-Complainant.
TENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

belief alleges that Cross-Complainant failed to perform express contractual conditions precedent to

event that the discovery indicates they would be appropriate.
TWENTY-FOURTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

(FAILURE TO NOTIFY)

such conditions. This conduct by Cross-Complainant bars it from any relief from this answering
Cross-Defendant herein.
