Set-off


COMMENT

Set-off comes in three main categories: legal, equitable and contractual. 'Legal' is the simplest, being a deduction of an existing debt against a newly-arising one. An attractive feature about set-off is that it opens the potential to assert an old debt against the plaintiff as generally it is exempt from limitations, since it is normally advanced as a defence - not a claim.
