nut tiel record

n. [Law French "no such record"] A plea denying the existence of the record on which the plaintiff bases a claim. Evidence may generally be introduced to invalidate the record only, not the statements in the record. See trial by record under TRIAL. "The proper general issue in debt on judgments is 'mil tiel record,' which denies the existence of the record alleged. Nul tiel record sets up: (1) the defense either that there is no record at all in existence; or (2) one different from that which the defendant has declared of; or (3) that the judgment is void on the face of the record." Benjamin J. Shipman, Handbook of CommonLaw Pleading § 186, at 330 (Henry Winthrop Ballantine ed., 3d ed. 1923).
