Thiess v. Rapaport

A motion for judgment on the pleadings is in the nature of a demurrer. 1 Bancroft Code Pleading, p. 917, sec. 630; 49 C.J. 668, sec. 945; 21 R.C.L. 594, sec. 142; 21 Cal. Jur. 234, sec. 163, n. 10; 21 Cal. Jur. 240, sec. 166, n. 5.

If the answer sets up affirmative matter constituting a defense, a motion for judgment on the pleadings will be denied. 1 Bancroft Code Pleading 925, sec. 637; 21 Cal. Jur. 238, n. 13; Parks v. Western Union, 45 Nev. 411, 197 P. 580, 204 P. 884.

The denials contained in the respective answers of the defendants to each cause of action of the complaint are good denials.
