BECTON, Judge.
I
The principal issue on this appeal concerns the effect of the plaintiffs’ failure to file a reply to the defendant’s counterclaim. G.S. 1A-1, Rule 8(d) provides, “Averments in a pleading to which a responsive pleading is required, other than those as to the amount of damage, are admitted when not denied in the respon sive pleading. Averments in a pleading to which no responsive pleading is required or permitted shall be taken as denied or avoided.” G.S. 1A-1, Rule 7(a) provides that “[t]here shall be ... a reply to a counterclaim denominated as such. . . .”
