KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Peremptory Pleas
Peremptory pleas are pleas raised by a defendant that completely defeat or bar a legal action.
They are also known as pleas in bar.
Such pleas do not merely delay proceedings but seek to end the claim entirely.
Examples include pleas based on prior judgment, limitation periods, or settlement.
If successful, the claimant is prevented from continuing the action.
