A real defense is a justification for a maker or drawer not to honor a negotiable instrument even if it has been transferred to a holder in due course because it makes the instrument “void” according to Uniform Commercial Code §3-305 comment 1, thus the defense can't be "cut off" by the transfer to an HDC. Contrast this with personal defenses , which cannot protect the maker against the claims by an HDC.
