For example, if a person is injured in a car accident, they may file a lawsuit against the driver who caused the accident. In their complaint, they would include a prayer for relief asking for compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
The prayer for relief is the part of complaint where a plaintiff states the damages or other remedies it is seeking from the court in a lawsuit. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8(a)(3) requires that a plaintiff's pleadings contains a prayer for relief. The prayer is often located at the end of the complaint.
I need to know that you care, that you love me, be my refuge from pain, replacing my distress with peace, and be my strength when I feel weak and find it hard to carry on. Help me not to fear the future but to boldly trust that you are in control when my emotions plunge me down, and when I am in despair.
A prayer for relief, in the law of civil procedure, is a portion of a complaint in which the plaintiff describes the remedies that the plaintiff seeks from the court.
In legal terminology, a petition is made to the court by a petitioner against a respondent, while a complaint is filed by a plaintiff against a defendant. A petition asks the court to provide a court order, while a complaint seeks damages or to force the defendant to start or stop doing something.
Pray these words: Dear Lord, help me remember that I am not my pain; I am a child of God—loved, gifted, welcomed, wanted. Concentrate on what you feel besides your pain. Press your feet into the ground or floor. Feel them support you.
The prayer for relief is a part of a complaint where the person who is suing (called the plaintiff) tells the court what they want the court to do to help them. This is required by the rules of the court. The prayer for relief is usually at the end of the complaint.
FRCP Rule 12(b) pertains to pretrial motions, and 12(b)(6) specifically deals with motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. As a practical matter, Rule 12(b)(6) motions are rarely successful, and when they are, their success usually has more to do with the judge than the law.
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I thank You for Your presence in my life. I thank You for Your strength and guidance, Your hope and peace. I thank You for being my rock and my refuge, my comfort and my salvation. Help me to continue to trust in You and to seek Your will in all things.
A general prayer is an unspecified request for any other relief that the court deems the plaintiff is entitled to, as a court is not limited to granting the relief which the plaintiff requests. Prayer for relief is also called demand for relief. Last updated in July of 2020 by the Wex Definitions Team
