Read a random definition: international river

A quick definition of plea puis darrein continuance:

A plea is when someone accused of a crime says if they are guilty or not guilty. Sometimes, they can also say they don't contest or admit guilt. A plea can be part of a deal with the prosecutor or made voluntarily. In a civil case, a plea is a response to the allegations made by the other party. A plea can also be used to delay or defeat a case on procedural grounds. A jurisdictional plea is when someone says the court doesn't have the power to hear the case. A plea in abatement objects to how the claim was made, but doesn't dispute the claim itself.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A plea made by a defendant in a criminal case that asks for a delay in the trial until a later time.

Example: John is accused of stealing a car. He pleads not guilty, but then later asks for a plea puis darrein continuance because he needs more time to gather evidence for his defense.

This example illustrates how a defendant can use a plea puis darrein continuance to delay the trial until they are better prepared to defend themselves.
