442 Pleadings—defence to debt and liquidated demand
(1) In a defence to a claim for debt or a liquidated demand, it is not
enough for the defendant simply to deny the debt.
(2) Instead, the defendant must deny the matters of fact from which the
defendant’s liability is alleged to arise that are disputed.
