Nul wastePleading. This is the gene- ral issue in an action of waste. Co. Entr. 700 a, 708 a.

RELATED TERMS-------------------------------------- Pleading Practice. The statement in a logical, and legal form, of the facts which constitute the plaintiff's cause of action, or the defendant's ground of defence; it is the formal mode of alleging that on the record, which would be the support, or the defence of the party in evidence. Issue 1) Kindred. This term is of very extensive import, in its most enlarged signification, and includes all persons who have descended from a common ancestor. But when this word is used in a will, in order to give effect to the testator's intention it will be construed in a more restricted sense than its legal import conveys. 2) Pleading. An issue, in pleading, is defined to be a single, certain and material point issuing out of the allegations of the parties, and consisting, regularly, of an affirmative and negative. In common parlance, issue also signifies the entry of the pleadings. Action 1) French commercial. Stock in a company, shares in a corporation. 2)Civil law. An action instituted to avoid a sale onaccount of some Vice or defect in the thing sold which readers it either absolutely useless, or its use so inconvenient and, imperfect, that it must be, supposed the buyer would not have purchased it, had he known of the vice. Waste The abuse, destruction or permanent change to property by one who is merely in possesion of it as in the case of a tenant or a life tenant. Plea 1) Chancery practice. "A plea," says Lord Bacon, speaking of proceedings in courts of equity, "is a foreign matter to discharge or stay the suit." 2) Practice. The defendant's answer by matter of fact, to the plaintiff's declaration. Support The right of support is an easement which one man, either by contract or prescription, enjoys, to rest the joists or timbers of his house upon the wall of an adjoining building, owned by another person. Defendant A party who is sued in a personal action. Evidence Proof of fact(s) presented at a trial. The best and most common method is by oral testimony; where you have an eye-witness swear to tell the truth and to then relate to the court (or jury) their experience. Evidence is essential in convincing the judge or jury of your facts as the judge (or jury) is expected to start off with a blank slate; no preconceived idea or knowledge of the facts. So it is up to the opposing parties to prove (by providing evidence), to the satisfaction of the court (or jury), the facts needed to support their case. Besides oral testimony, an object can be deposited with the court (eg. a signed contract). This is sometimes called "real evidence." In other rarer cases, evidence can be circumstantial.
