ABATEMENT IN PLEADING

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 7 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABATEMENT IN PLEADING , or plea in abatement, was the defeating or quashing of a particular action by some matter of fact, such as a defect in form or the
personal
  incompetency of the parties suing, pleaded by the
defendant
 . It did not involve the merits of the cause, but left the right of action subsisting. In criminal proceedings a plea in abatement was at one
time
  a common practice in
answer
  to an indictment, and was set up for the purpose of defeating the indictment as framed, by alleging misnomer or other misdescription of the
defendant
 . Its effect for this purpose was nullified by the Criminal Law Act 1826, which required the
court
  to amend according to the truth, and the Criminal
Procedure
  Act 1851, which rendered description of the defendant Unnecessary. All pleas in abatement are now abolished (R.S.C. Order 21, r. 20). See PLEADING.
