I am filling out a counterclaim form and one of the questions asks for the plaintiff's claimed principal amount. Since I do not have an exact amount, can I write 'To be calculated' and file it with that statement?

We are appealing the Summary of Judgment in the California Superior Court due to misconduct, fraud, and deceit in arbitration. We were unable to obtain legal counsel due to the MICRA Law.

Can you provide guidance on where to find such cases?
