key affirmative defense [ignored or discounted a] Explanation: The sentence concerns a single objection [Einwand], and one that has two functions, namely, both to defend and to shift the burden of proof back to the Claimant. Since that is exactly the effect of an "affirmative defense," this appears to be a likely rendering. Logic reinforces this take, I think, because it is not ordinarily helpful to one's case to complain that the judge ignored objections from both sides on a key issue, and even less probable that the parties would share the same view on a key issue in a dispute.
