<h1>Demurrer admits complaint facts but argues they fail to state valid legal claim</h1> A demurrer is a legal pleading that admits the facts alleged in a complaint may be true but argues they are insufficient for the plaintiff to state a valid claim for relief. Derived from Latin 'demorari' meaning 'to wait or stay,' it indicates the defendant waits for court judgment on whether they must respond to allegedly insufficient pleading. Modern jurisdictions typically use 'motion to dismiss' instead, though some states like California, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania retain the term. Demurrers can be general (challenging substance) or special (challenging form and requiring specific defect identification).
