A quick definition of responsive pleading:

Responsive pleading refers to a legal document filed by a defendant in response to a complaint or petition filed by the plaintiff. It is a formal written statement that addresses the allegations made by the plaintiff and either admits or denies them. The purpose of a responsive pleading is to provide the court with the defendant's version of events and to begin the process of resolving the dispute between the parties.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Responsive pleading is a legal document filed by a defendant in response to a complaint or petition filed by the plaintiff. It is a formal written statement that addresses the allegations made by the plaintiff and either admits or denies them. Example: If a person is sued for breach of contract, they would file a responsive pleading that either admits to breaching the contract or denies the allegations made by the plaintiff. The responsive pleading may also include any affirmative defenses or counterclaims the defendant may have. Explanation: The example illustrates how a responsive pleading is used in a legal case. It is a formal document that allows the defendant to respond to the allegations made by the plaintiff and present their own defenses or claims. This is an important part of the legal process as it ensures that both parties have the opportunity to present their case and have their arguments heard.
