Definition: A no-contest plea in a criminal case: the defendant does not contest the charge without making the same express admission as a guilty plea.
Example
A defendant enters a no-contest plea, and the court proceeds to resolve the criminal case.
Keep the distinction clear
Do not assume a no-contest plea avoids licensing consequences. Florida's real estate discipline statute addresses specified pleas regardless of adjudication.
