A quick definition of issuable defense:

An issuable defense is a reason given by a person being sued or accused of a crime as to why they should not be held responsible. It is a statement that challenges the validity of the case against them. There are different types of issuable defenses, such as affirmative defense, perfect defense, and real defense. The defendant must prove their issuable defense to avoid being found guilty or liable.

A more thorough explanation:

An issuable defense is a legal defense that a defendant can raise in response to a plaintiff's or prosecutor's claim. It is a stated reason why the plaintiff or prosecutor has no valid case. An issuable defense can be a denial, answer, or plea made by the defendant.

For example, if a plaintiff sues a defendant for robbery, the defendant can raise an issuable defense by stating that they were 25 miles away from the building at the time of the robbery. This defense challenges the plaintiff's claim that the defendant committed the crime.

Other examples of issuable defenses include affirmative defense, capacity defense, collateral defense, defense of habitation, and equitable defense.

An issuable defense is important because it allows a defendant to challenge the plaintiff's claim and present their own version of events. It is up to the court to determine whether the defense is valid and whether the plaintiff's claim has merit.
