judgment of nil capiat

judgment of nil capiat: A judgment that he (the plaintiff) take nothing. A judgment which is entered when the defendant has pleaded in bar and the plaintiff's demurrer to the plea is overruled. Such a judgment should be entered, although there may be also one or more issues of fact; because, upon the whole, it appears that the plaintiff had no cause of action.
