What should the appellee do after receiving the appeal?

What should the defendant do when he receives the appeal? 1. If the defendant admits all or part of the plaintiff's claim, he can directly contact the plaintiff for settlement, and then the plaintiff will drop the lawsuit and close the case. The defendant can also contact the plaintiff through the court to achieve the purpose of reconciliation between the two parties. The defendant may also request the people's court for mediation, and the defendant may mediate with the plaintiff under the auspices of the people's court. After the two sides reach an agreement, the people's court will issue a civil mediation. 2. If the defendant denies all or part of the plaintiff's claim, he shall submit a defense to our court within 15 days from the date of receiving the complaint, and submit copies according to the number of the other parties. The people's court will serve the defense on the plaintiff. The defendant's objection to the jurisdiction of the case shall be raised during the defense period. The defendant shall put forward his own views on the relevant facts and reasons of the case in the defense. When submitting the defense, the defendant shall also submit the evidence related to the case, and submit copies or duplicates of the evidence according to the number of the other parties. In addition, there are two ways to put forward defense opinions, which you can choose: one is to put forward defense opinions in writing, that is, to write defense opinions within the defense period notified by the court and submit them to the court; The second is to make an oral defense during the trial. The defendant put forward his own rebuttal opinions through the defense, which is convenient for the court to listen to the opinions and demands of both the original and the defendant and comprehensively examine the case. 3. If the defendant needs to file a counterclaim, he shall make a counterclaim and file it within the time limit for adducing evidence. Counterclaim is a legal document in which the defendant files a counterclaim. Based on some facts and reasons related to the prosecution, the defendant should file a counterclaim with the plaintiff. The judge will decide whether to accept the counterclaim according to the circumstances of the case. If the defendant files a counterclaim, he also needs to pay the case acceptance fee and submit the evidence in advance within the specified time. After accepting the counterclaim, the court will serve a copy of the counterclaim on the other party. The defendant's counterclaim shall be filed within the time limit for adducing evidence. With regard to the time limit for adducing evidence, the Civil Procedure Law and Several Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Evidence in Civil Procedure shall apply. What needs special attention is that the defendant's failure to respond to the lawsuit, submit a defense or appear in court does not affect the trial of the case by the people's court. The defendant may bear the corresponding adverse consequences because he is lazy in exercising his litigation rights.
