Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
Does every affirmative defense you use in your answer to a limited civil suit have to have an explanation with it? Or can you just state the title of the defense?
Do you have to answer to every paragraph on the complaint/common counts or does the PLD-C-010 um it all up as a general denial to all?
1 Answer from Attorneys
State the title of the affirmative defense and then a short statement such as:
Speculative and/or Uncertain Damages
This answering Defendant is informed and believes and theron alleges that Plaintiff's damages, if any, are speculative and/or uncertain and therefore not compensable.
If you are correctly using PLD-C-010, then each paragraph does not need to be addressed.
I hope that helps.
