A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Quoad ultra is a Latin term used in law that means "with regard to the rest." It was commonly used in legal pleadings when a defendant admitted part of the plaintiff's claim but denied the rest.

Example: If a plaintiff sued a defendant for $10,000, and the defendant admitted to owing $5,000 but denied owing the remaining $5,000, the defendant would plead quoad ultra.

Explanation: In this example, the defendant is admitting to part of the plaintiff's claim but denying the rest. By pleading quoad ultra, the defendant is saying that they agree to pay the $5,000 they owe but not the other $5,000. This term was commonly used in legal proceedings to clarify which parts of a claim were being admitted and which were being denied.
