Legal Definitions - without this, that

WITHOUT THIS, THAT

Without this. This term is used in old-fashioned legal language to deny allegations. It is also known as "absque hoc" or "sans ce que".

Example 1: "The defendant denies the allegations made against him, without this, that he was present at the scene of the crime."

Example 2: "The plaintiff claims that the defendant owes him money, without this, that the plaintiff ever lent any money to the defendant."

These examples show how "without this, that" is used to deny specific allegations made in a legal case. The phrase is used to introduce a denial of a particular fact or claim, while still acknowledging the overall accusation.
