Speaking demurrer

Read a random definition: F.R.D.

A quick definition of Speaking demurrer:

A speaking demurrer is a type of legal objection that tries to introduce new evidence or information that is not included in the original legal document. This is not allowed because demurrers are based on the assumption that the facts presented in the document are true. Therefore, speaking demurrers are not valid and cannot be accepted by the court.

A more thorough explanation:

A speaking demurrer is a type of legal objection that goes beyond the contents of the pleading being challenged. It is an attempt to introduce new evidence or information that is not part of the record. Since demurrers assume that the factual allegations in the pleading are true, speaking demurrers cannot be sustained.

Let's say that a plaintiff files a complaint against a defendant, alleging that the defendant breached a contract by failing to pay for services rendered. The defendant files a demurrer, arguing that the plaintiff did not provide enough detail about the services rendered. This is a valid demurrer because it is based on the contents of the complaint.

However, if the defendant files a speaking demurrer, arguing that the plaintiff actually provided subpar services and therefore breached the contract first, this would not be a valid demurrer. This is because the defendant is introducing new evidence that is not part of the record.
