Contestação Judicial

Contestação Judicial, or legal defense, is a formal response a defendant submits in court to counter or defend against a claim or lawsuit filed against them. It involves presenting evidence, legal arguments, and explanations to refute the plaintiff’s allegations. The purpose is to clarify the defendant’s position and protect their legal rights within the judicial process. This response must follow specific rules and deadlines set by the court, ensuring all parties have a fair opportunity to argue their case before a judgment is made.
