In a dispute over carpentry work where a construction artisan's lien was registered against the property, the defendants sought the lien's cancellation in their statement of defense against the main claim, rather than filing a separate counterclaim as required. The court reasoned that a request for lien cancellation based on a separate right against the property constitutes an independent counterclaim that must be brought through a dedicated legal submission as mandated by procedural rules. Although the lower court erred by dismissing the counterclaim on the merits instead of declining to proceed due to the formal defect, and while the initial deficiency was not cured by the main claim's reasoning, the appellate court accepted jurisdiction because the defect in the counterclaim submission was remedied in the appeal brief, ultimately allowing the reduction of the lien amount corresponding to the partially upheld main claim.
