A formal notice given in response to or as opposition to another notice, often used in legal, administrative, or procedural contexts.
From counter- (against) + notice (from Latin notitia, 'knowledge'). A legal and administrative term used in formal disputes and procedures.
When someone serves you with a legal notice, you can sometimes file a counternotice—essentially a formal reply saying 'your notice is wrong or unfair'—but you have strict time limits to do it.
