Failure to state a claim - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Failure to state a claimis a defense asserting that even if all the factual allegations in a complaint are true, they are insufficient to establish a�cause of action and the case should therefore be dismissed.

In a federal civil action, this defense is raised via�a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss.

Before the adoption of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a failure to state a claim defense was known as a demurrer.�
