MOTION TO ADOPT JOINT COUNTER-AFFIDAVIT

AS RESPONDENTS’ JOINT ANSWER

THE RESPONDENTS of the above-captioned case, by the undersigned

counsel, unto this Honorable Office, most respectfully state, that:

1. On____________, Respondents received the Summon/Order to Answer

dated ___________________from this Honorable Office directing them to submit
Answer within seven (7) days from receipt thereof.

2. Considering that the Joint Counter-Affidavit dated

______________submitted by Respondents already exhaustively and
comprehensively laid down the material facts, arguments and defenses necessary
to rebut the allegations of the Complainant, thus, it would be redundant and
superfluous for the Respondents to submit their Answer as this would merely
reiterate what was already stated in their Joint Counter-Affidavit.

3. Respondents most respectfully adopt their Joint Counter-Affidavit

dated ___________________as their Joint Answer in compliance with the Order of
this Honorable Office.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed that Joint Counter-Affidavit

compliance with the Order _____________.

Other reliefs, just and equitable under the premises, are likewise prayed
for.
