Definition of disjunctive denial

Definition: Disjunctive denial is a type of response in which the defendant denies the truthfulness of two or more allegations of a complaint in the alternative.

For example, if a plaintiff alleges that the defendant either stole their car or damaged it, the defendant can respond with a disjunctive denial by denying both allegations.

This type of denial is different from a conjunctive denial, which denies all material facts alleged in a complaint, and a specific denial, which is a separate response applicable to one or more particular allegations in a complaint.

Overall, disjunctive denial is a way for defendants to deny multiple allegations without admitting to any of them.

Simple Definition

Disjunctive denial is a type of response used in court when a defendant wants to deny two or more allegations in a complaint. It means that the defendant is saying that at least one of the allegations is not true, but they are not specifying which one. This is different from a conjunctive denial, which denies all the material facts alleged in a complaint, and a general denial, which puts in issue all the material assertions of a complaint or petition.

The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.
