A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “traverse” refers to a formal denial or contradiction of an allegation or claim made by the opposing party in a legal proceeding. It is a legal pleading in which a party denies the truth of the allegations made by the other party and asserts their own version of the facts. This is often used in the context of a response to a complaint or petition in a lawsuit.
Example: The defense attorney filed a traverse to the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, arguing that there were genuine issues of material fact in dispute.
