A quick definition of statement of defense:

A statement of defense is what a person says when they are being accused of something. It is like their side of the story. In England, it is the answer that the person being accused gives to the person who is accusing them.

A more thorough explanation:

A statement of defense is a response made by a defendant in a legal case. It is a document that outlines the defendant's position and arguments against the plaintiff's claims. In England, it is specifically the defendant's answer to the plaintiff's statement of claim.

For example, if someone sues another person for breach of contract, the defendant would file a statement of defense that explains why they did not breach the contract or why they should not be held responsible for any damages. The statement of defense is an important part of the legal process because it allows both sides to present their arguments and evidence before a judge or jury.

Another example could be in a criminal case, where the defendant may file a statement of defense that denies the charges against them or provides an explanation for their actions.

Overall, a statement of defense is a crucial document in any legal case as it allows the defendant to present their side of the story and defend themselves against the plaintiff's claims.
