You're right, James, the previous KudoZ is not that useful - no discussion or other suggestions, just plain "defence" (and the asker was not happy with it, either)

Note from asker:
| I searched the glossary on he plural I'm afraid. but I would have asked anyway. Defence alone is not very reassuring. Lots of thanks everybody, court proceedings really isn't my thing, or wasn't until this customer got taken to court :( |

Statements of Defence; Defence Submissions
According to Euridocautom, simply Defence for the singular form.
Watch the BE spelling of Defence.
Submissions is slightly confusable with oral pleadings made in court, but still a lot better than the Strasbourg ECHR's Middle Ages relic of Defence 'Memorial'.

Answer: That's right, James. On the first point, 'statement of truth' is the new term for Affidavit in Eng. & Wales civ. justice i.e. a deposition sworn on oath. But that's a different idea altogether.

Note from asker:
| Hi Tom Thumb. I found that "statements of truth" "defence statements" come later and are a different thing sworn declarations rather than a simple description of the case for the defence. |

skeleton arguments
UK English only.
If "difensive" is referring to the representatives of both sides, you don't have to qualify skeleton argument.
If "difensive" refers to the defendant, you would say "defendant's skeleton argument" or "respondent's skeleton argument" if on appeal.
If you really want to show off, you can just call it a "skeleton"!
Example:

Appreciate your time on this James. I can only say that having filed one myself in a first instance case, I don't agree that it's limited to judicial review. However different courts might have different names for them. Also it depends on whether you are wanting American or British English: the examples given by the chosen answer were American...

| Thomas, I researched this and found that they are requested by judges for judicial reviews and not for first instance cases. |
| Hi Thomas the answer to your question American or British is clear in the top line of this page: "Italian to English translations [PRO] Law/Patents - Law (general) / High Court London civil". Obviously this translation is long gone. The first stage arrived with the "claim form". I'd be curious to know what the Italian is for that. Next came the "memorie difensive" and then the "statements of truth" all in the London High Court civil. Being English, I've never head of a "skeleton argument", and then not even after years of Perry Mason either. Obviously they do exist, but then so do briefs. |
