The step in which one party can be required to answer under oath questions that are put to him by the other party's lawyer is known as Examination for Discovery. Stare decisis refers to the legal principle of following a previous court decision when deciding a similar case. Statement of Defence is a legal document filed by a defendant in response to a claim made by the plaintiff. Appearance refers to a defendant’s formal submission to a court's jurisdiction, and Default judgment refers to a judgment made in favor of the plaintiff due to defendant’s failure to appear or respond to the court.
