The defendant may file with the clerk a counterclaim against the plaintiff in an amount
not in excess of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) exclusive of 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 division, then the provisions of
KRS 24A.310(1) shall apply.
