Plea in Bar

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

An answer to a plaintiff's claim that absolutely and entirely defeats it.

A plea in bar sets forth matters that deny the plaintiff's right to maintain his or her lawsuit; for example, because the Statute of Limitations has expired or because the claim necessarily overrides a constitutionally protected right of the defendant.
