The defendant may file with the clerk a counterclaim against the plaintiff in an

interest and costs, if the counterclaim arose out of the same transaction or
occurrence that is the subject matter of the plaintiff's claim, and if the counterclaim
does not require for its adjudication the presence of third parties over whom the
division cannot acquire jurisdiction. Any counterclaim shall be filed with the clerk,
and a copy delivered to the plaintiff at least five (5) days prior to the time of the
hearing. If the defendant's counterclaim is in excess of the jurisdictional limits of the
