He alleges (1) what duty the defendant breached, (2) how the defendant breached the duty, and (3) how the plaintiff suffered damages (or is threatened with damages) as a direct result. A = Answer ... Where defendant responds to plaintiff's Complaint by filing an Answer and Affirmative Defenses. In his Answer he admits or denies (or claims he lacks enough knowledge to admit or deny) each separate allegation of the plaintiff's Complaint. In his Affirmative Defenses he alleges facts that (if he can prove them) will relieve him of his obligation to plaintiff. T = Trial ... Where the judge (or jury) decides the final verdict by examining admissible evidence, using plain old common sense to decide which facts presented are true, weighing each side's evidence to see which side has the greater weight of evidence, and then applying the law to determine who wins. >>Plaintiffs file Complaints. >>Defendants file Answers (and essential "Affirmative Defenses", as you will learn in my course. >>Judges and juries examine the facts and law at trial to decide who wins.
