Plea in Bar |

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. |
