“A person who has a right to enforce an obligation also has a right to use his cause of action ás a defense. Except as otherwise provided herein, a prescribed obligation' arising under Louisiana law may be used as a defense if it is incidental to, or connected with, the obligation sought to be enforced by the plaintiff.”
