/ˈspɛʃəl ˈtrævərs/ – Pharse
Definition: lời phản bác một điểm cụ thể.
A more thorough explanation: Special traverse is a legal term that refers to a specific type of pleading in which the defendant in a lawsuit denies certain specific allegations made by the plaintiff. This denial is made in a formal and specific manner, setting out the reasons why the defendant believes the allegations are not true. Special traverse is used to challenge the truth or accuracy of particular facts alleged by the plaintiff in their complaint.
Example: In a civil lawsuit where the plaintiff alleges that the defendant breached a contract by not delivering goods, the defendant might file a special traverse by addressing each specific allegation. For instance, if the plaintiff claims that the goods were due on January 1st and were not delivered, the defendant’s special traverse might state that the goods were delivered on January 2nd but were delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, thereby contesting the timing of the breach.
