Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An answer that responds to a complaint may also state an affirmative defense. An affirmative defense is a rule of law enabling the defendant to win even if all of the plaintiff's allegations are true. For example, the plaintiff may allege that the defendant breached their contract. The defendant might respond by admitting that the contract had been breached but that he or she should not be held liable because the contract had been induced by the plaintiff's fraudulent misrepresentations.
