Demur demur demur.

My first teachers 'splained me that good, too- but it took a while to get it...


We have one basic automatic tool: denial by testimony beats hearsay private opinions. That right there probably beats 90% of all cases.

Demur? LOL. You best check your state's civil procedure rules.

Ga. Code. 9-11-7 Pleadings - motions.

[subsections a and b redacted due to irrelevancy]

(c) Demurrers, pleas, etc., abolished. Demurrers, pleas, and exceptions for insufficiency of a pleading shall not be used.

[Emphasis added]

And a demurrer won't work in federal court, either. Fed. Rule of Civil Procedure 7 states as follows:

(a) Pleadings. Only these pleadings are allowed:

(1) a complaint;

(2) an answer to a complaint;

(3) an answer to a counterclaim designated as a counterclaim;

(4) an answer to a crossclaim;

(5) a third-party complaint;

(6) an answer to a third-party complaint; and

(7) if the court orders one, a reply to an answer.

(b) Motions and Other Papers.

(1) In General. A request for a court order must be made by motion. The motion must:

(A) be in writing unless made during a hearing or trial;

(B) state with particularity the grounds for seeking the order; and

(C) state the relief sought.

(2) Form. The rules governing captions and other matters of form in pleadings apply to motions and other papers.

[Emphasis added]

You have a defense, you best raise it by answer or motion. Preferably both, and filed at the same time.

JOO NOOB! LOL
