Complaint
A complaint is a legal document that initiates a lawsuit. It outlines the plaintiff’s claims against the defendant, including the factual allegations and legal grounds for the case. The complaint must be filed with the appropriate court and served on the defendant. It typically includes sections such as the parties involved, jurisdiction, factual background, legal claims, and relief sought. The complaint sets the foundation for the entire legal proceeding and informs the defendant of the nature of the case against them.
