How to write the defense?

The defense writing template is as follows:

Defendant: XX Restaurant.

Respondents:

With regard to the case of Respondent v. Respondent (case number: XXX), the Respondent now puts forward the following defense opinions.

1. If the respondent fails to perform his obligations and breaches the contract first, he has no right to terminate the contract.

Two, considering the actual situation of this case, the lease contract should not be terminated.

Three, the respondent has the right to deduct the rent payable from the amount payable to the respondent.

4. The respondent has no right to claim property management fees, utilities, sewage charges, garbage disposal fees and ontology maintenance funds.

To sum up, the respondent hopes that the court will consider the respondent as the property owner and long-term beneficiary of the ancillary facilities of the leased property, and it is fair to bear the maintenance fee.

Considering that the respondent in this case has also breached the contract, the restaurant is operating normally, and considering the current economic situation and the guiding principles of the Supreme Court, the issue of contract termination is handled carefully and the respondent's claim is rejected.

Defendant: XX Restaurant.

Notes on writing:

1, overall framework

The first part indicates the "civil defense", the subject information of the respondent, the case (case number) information, etc. Signature: "to XXX court", signed and sealed by the respondent, and dated. Add page numbers to multiple pages, and the header can indicate "XXX v XXX plus cause of action" (Note: the website of Supreme Court has commonly used text templates, so don't be lazy. )

2. Names of both parties

It is suggested that the name of the party or the original defendant be directly stated to facilitate the identification of the subject of litigation. The first appearance of a long name adopts the full name-respondent XXX, and the following articles use abbreviations. If you use the expression "respondent and respondent", it will be a bit evasive and easy to make mistakes. Secondly, it is not in line with the audience's perspective, and it is clear at a glance directly with the name of the party or the original defendant.

3. Main text structure

The main structure can list the main points of defense in bold titles. The main points of defense are divided into 1 to 3 titles, and each point should be blank. If the case is complicated, you can subdivide the subheadings, focus on the first one, and don't stick to the timeline. If the case is slightly complicated, you can simply state the ins and outs of the dispute in the previous paragraph.
