A bank's defense, or any property owner's defense, would be that the adverse claimant hasn't met the state requirements for a valid claim.
No, only dignity and moral authority. He frequently told the court that they had to convict him as a matter of law.
Yes. No
The only way to avoid having a judgment entered against you is to show up on the hearing date of the lawsuit with a valid defense. Please be advised, the only acceptable defense in a creditor vs. debtor lawsuit is the debtor/defendant bility to provide proof the debt is not valid. As unsympathetic as it seems, loss of employment, illness, not having the financial means to repay, is not considered a legal defense.
Killing someone is not justified unless it is in self-defense or defense of others in imminent danger. If Johnny killed Bob without valid cause, it would not be considered justified.
Yes. Ignorance is never a valid defense for breaking a law.
No. Mr.Lay was found guilty on all counts for his particpation in the criminal actions that led to collapse of Enron.
The Durham Rule is a principle used to determine whether the insanity defense used by a person accused of committing a crime is valid or not.
An invalid argument is when the facts you are using are invalid or your forms of defense are wrong or incorrect, a valid argument is the opposite of an invalid argument. "There is a windmill in my beard. your argument is invalid." (This is a good example of a bad contradiction)
Depends on the situation... Of course, if a man was killing a woman through physical means or was about to commit such actions and the woman happened to have a lethal firearm and shot the man, then no it would not be considered neglegence. That situation of self-defense was valid and legal. But if a man had threatened the woman with violence instead or had no source of malicous intent to harm then no, she has no authority to use the firearm against the man. Self-defense would not be a valid nor legal choice. Calling the police in terms of threats is best in those situations. Using a weapon would not be. The term "self-defense is a defense to neglegence" is used to those who have claimed that they have commited self-defense when it was reality, it was murder since the "attacker" who did not commit any physical/deadly/malicious actions. Usually, letal self-defense actions are commited through fear of one's life. I hope this answers your question.
In sports, in American English it is the defense and the offense. The words defence and offence are valid variants, but are chiefly used in the United Kingdom.
