ARGUMENTATIVENES
(bouvier) | ARGUMENTATIVENESS. What is used by way of reasoning in pleading is so
called.
2. It is a rule that pleadings must not be argumentative. For example,
when a defendant is sued for taking away the goods of the plaintiff, he must
not plead that "the plaintiff never had any goods," because although this
may be an infallible argument it is not a good plea. The plea should be not
guilty. Com. Dig. Pleader R 3; Dougl. 60; Co. Litt. 126 a.
