The defect relation gives the best-possible estimate, where f is a linearly non-degenerate holomorphic curve in Pn(C) and H1, …, Hq are hyperplanes in Pn(C) which are in general position. However, the case of moving hyperplanes has ever got only n(n + 1) instead of n + 1 (Stoll [4]) and it has not yet been known whether this bound is best-possible or not. In this paper we shall give some particular cases which have the bound n + 1.
