HisHughness quizzically quipped: "Is there any state -- or commonwealth -- in the U.S. that still uses demurrers?"
I believe California rules still refer to demurrers. And I do know that New Hampshire Superior Court still references demurrers in Code 131-134 - Answers and Demurrers (see http://www.courts.state.nh.us/rules/sror/sror-h3-131.htm for details). Particularly code 134 which states: "134. A demurrer shall be entitled like an answer, and its form shall be in substance: "The defendant says the plaintiff is not entitled upon his bill, to the relief prayed for, because", etc." |
