A plea of non est factum means "it is not my deed," and is used as a defense when a party claims that they did not understand the document they were signing, and therefore did not truly consent to the agreement. It is not applicable when both parties have made a mistake or when there is a misrepresentation. Furthermore, it is a defense against the other party, not third parties.
