A quick definition of defective pleading:

Defective pleading is when someone doesn't write their legal document correctly. This document is called a pleading and it's used in court to make claims or respond to claims. If a pleading is defective, it doesn't meet the minimum standards needed to be accurate or make sense. This can cause problems in the legal process. There are different types of pleadings, like an amended pleading which corrects mistakes or a supplemental pleading which adds new information. It's important to write pleadings correctly so that the court can understand what's going on.

A more thorough explanation:

Defective pleading refers to a formal document in which a party to a legal proceeding sets forth or responds to allegations, claims, denials, or defenses, but fails to meet minimum standards of sufficiency or accuracy in form or substance.

For example, a plaintiff's complaint that lacks specific details or fails to state a valid legal claim would be considered a defective pleading. Similarly, a defendant's answer that does not respond to all of the allegations in the complaint or raises irrelevant defenses would also be defective.

Defective pleadings can lead to dismissal of a case or other sanctions, as they do not provide the necessary information for the court to make a decision on the merits of the case.
