English Legal System: General Issue

In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of General Issue : A plea in which every allegation in the opposite party’s pleading is denied. In civil proceedings it is no longer permitted. Instead, each allegation must be specifically admitted or denied. In criminal cases the defendant pleads the general issue by pleading *not guilty and cannot generally be required to disclose the nature of his defence until his own case is presented (but see alibi).
