A quick definition of dilatory plea:

A dilatory plea is a type of response that a person accused of a crime can make in court. It doesn't say whether they are guilty or not guilty, but instead tries to delay or stop the case from going forward. There are two main types of dilatory pleas: ones that challenge the court's authority to hear the case, and ones that try to stop the case for other reasons.

A more thorough explanation:

A dilatory plea is a legal response that seeks to delay or defeat a legal action on procedural grounds. It does not challenge the merits of the case but rather focuses on technicalities.

For example, a defendant may file a dilatory plea to challenge the jurisdiction of the court or the venue of the case. This type of plea does not address the substance of the case but rather seeks to dismiss it based on procedural issues.

Another example of a dilatory plea is a plea in abatement, which objects to the time, place, or method of asserting the plaintiff's claim but does not dispute the claim's merits.

Overall, a dilatory plea is a legal tactic used to delay or defeat a legal action without addressing the substance of the case.
