Plea in Bar
PLEA IN BAR
An answer to a plaintiff's claim that absolutely and entirely defeats it.
A plea in bar sets forth matters that deny the plaintiff's right to maintain his or her lawsuit; for example, because the statute of limitations has expired or because the claim necessarily overrides a constitutionally protected right of the defendant.
