Primary tabs. A complaint is the pleading that starts a case. Essentially, a document that sets forth a jurisdictional basis for the court's power, the plaintiff's cause of action, and a demand for judicial relief. A plaintiff starts a civil action by filing a pleading called a complaint.
Settlement: At any time after the filing of the Complaint, the parties may engage in settlement discussions. A settlement occurs when the parties resolve their civil dispute, usually after negotiating among themselves rather than the court or a jury deciding the case.
Filing your complaint starts your case, but the summons is the document that is issued under the court's authority that notifies your defendant they are being sued and that they need to take action.
The writ of replevin must be directed to the sheriff, or other officer authorized by law, of the county where the chattels are located. The write of replevin must describe the chattels with specificity.
What Should Be in My Complaint? Name of the judge, court commissioner or referee. Court in which the judicial officer serves. Case type, name, and number, if the conduct involves a case, and your relationship to the case. Date or dates on which the conduct occurred.
