A litigant’s raising a material defense, substantiating it by the import of wording in a document submitted to the trial court.

إثارة الخصم دفاعاً جوهرياً مستدلاً عليه بدلالة عبارات بمستند مقدم لمحكمة الموضوع. وجوب تمحيصه على ضوء ما تفيده عبارات المستند بأكملها. مخالفة ذلك. أثره. صدور الحكم معيباً بالقصور المبطل.
