Contest means opposing or disputing an adverse claim, invoking defence and challenge rather than factual concession.

The term contest denotes making a defence to an adverse claim by opposing, resisting or disputing it and striving to win or hold a right; it includes controverting, litigating, calling in question and challenging a claim, and implies that a contested matter is not to be treated as conceded on the factual score of a report.
