Tech Performance,Inc. ,completes programming and other tech services for Uno IT Products Corporation.When Uno's computer system crashes,it loses $500,000 worth of business and pays $100,000 to have the system reprogrammed.Uno IT announces to the media that the crash was due to Tech Performance's incompetence and files a complaint in a federal court against the firm.What are Tech Performance's options in response?​

Accepted Answer

In response to the complaint,Tech Performance (the defendant)may file an answer in which the firm admits the statements or allegations set out in Uno IT's complaint or denies them and sets out any defenses that Tech Performance may have.(If Tech Performance admits to the allegations,a judgment will be entered in favor of Uno IT.If Tech Performance denies the allegations,the matter will proceed. )In the answer,Tech Performance may assert an affirmative defense-that is,admit the truth of the complaint but raise new facts to show that the firm should not be held liable for the damage sustained by Uno IT.(The sorts of facts these might be and the legal effect they might have are details explained in later chapters in this text. )Tech Performance could also deny Uno IT's allegations and assert a counterclaim alleging that the crash occurred as a result of something Uno IT did and that Uno IT owes Tech Performance damages for the harm done to its reputation.Uno IT would have to submit an answer to the counterclaim.?Instead of filing an answer,Tech Performance might file a motion to dismiss.This motion might contend that Uno IT failed to state a claim for which relief can be granted-in other words,even if the facts presented in the complaint are true,their legal consequences are such that there is no reason to go ahead with the suit.Other grounds for this motion include improper service of process and the court's lack of jurisdiction or venue.(If the motion is denied,Tech Performance will be given time to file an answer.If the motion is granted,Uno IT will be given time to file an amended complaint. )
