Howto
- Get a copy of the claim
- Examime the counts of the claim
- Respond to each point in the claim
- If it is not clear what is being asked, ask.
- Watch out for trickery:
- Vague claims that elicit voluntary information that abets the opposition's case
- Intentionally misleading claims which trap one to admit something that is not relevant but supports the opposition's case
- Absence of any evidence, where opposition is seeking for you to incriminate yourself by things inadvertently said and distored
- Manipulation of words or distortion which aims to produce fault if not rebutted correctly
- Using technical terms or words with double meanings with aim to mislead
