A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “affirmative” refers to a statement or defense that asserts a fact or position, as opposed to merely denying an allegation made by the opposing party. It is a proactive assertion of a claim or defense rather than a mere denial or avoidance.
Example: In the case of Smith v. Jones, the court issued an affirmative ruling in favor of the plaintiff, ordering the defendant to pay damages for breach of contract.
