An 8.01 Description of Claim is a document that is used in the legal process to describe the details of a claim being made. It should include all relevant information such as the claimant’s name and address, the name of the person or company against which the claim is being made, the amount of money being claimed, any supporting documents, and the facts and circumstances that support the claim. There are two main types of 8.01 Description of Claim: a statement of claim and a summons and complaint. A statement of claim is a narrative document in which the claimant outlines the facts and circumstances of their case and the legal basis for their claim. A summons and complaint is a more formal legal document that includes the plaintiff’s claims and requests the court’s action.
