Formal contradiction (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebuttal

(Other definitions for rebuttal that I've seen before include "A disproving or rejection of evidence" , "Disproof" , "contrary argument" , "statement delivered to counter" , "A contradiction of evidence" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
