/nɛgətɪv dɪˈfɛns/ – Phrase
Definition: biện hộ bằng cách phủ nhận sự việc.
A more thorough explanation: A negative defense is a legal defense in which the defendant denies or refutes the allegations made by the plaintiff or prosecution, rather than asserting an affirmative defense. It involves challenging the evidence or arguments presented by the opposing party without offering an alternative explanation or justification for the defendant’s actions.
Example: In a court case, the defendant’s negative defense claimed that they did not commit the crime as alleged by the prosecution.
