A complaint sets forth the relevant allegations of fact that give rise to one or more legal causes of action along with a prayer for relief and sometimes an ad quod damnum clause. In some situations, a complaint is called a petition, in which case the party filing it is called the petitioner and the other party is the respondent. In equity, sometimes called chancery, the initial pleading may be called either a petition or a bill of complaint in chancery. A demurrer is a pleading filed by a defendant which objects to the legal sufficiency of a complaint. At common law, the demurrer was the only pleading which in itself required an immediate ruling on its content from the court, and which was capable of immediately disposing of a case, with the inevitable result that demurrer practice came to resemble motion practice. Many common law jurisdictions therefore went to a narrower understanding of pleadings as framing the issues in a case but not being motions in and of themselves, and replaced the demurrer with the motion to dismiss for failure to state a cause of action or the application to strike out particulars of claim. An answer is a pleading filed by a defendant which admits or denies the specific allegations set forth in a complaint and constitutes a general appearance by a defendant. A defendant may also file a cross-complaint or third-party complaint as well to bring other parties into a case by the process of impleader. A defendant may file a counter-claim to raise a cause of action to defend, reduce or set off the claim of the plaintiff. 2011-03-06 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1689474 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1370419 Constitutional Law: First Amendment and Free Exercise Clause, Establishment Clause 2010-06-20 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1370419 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1121932 adverb, spanish, clause, subjunctive 2010-03-04 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1121932 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1211496 EPC from Con Law II 2010-03-04 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1211496 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/989369 Con law bar exam weak 2010-02-17 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/989369 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/980355 MOL Diploma in Residential Lettings and Management Unit 1 (Unit 2) 2010-02-06 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/980355 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/973846 Flashcards for English class 2010-01-29 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/973846 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/917458 Commerce Clause Test 2009-11-08 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/917458 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/867384 Present tense, First Person, Second Person, Third Person, Compound Subject, Indefinite Pronouns, Collective Nouns, Numbers, Units of Measure,Inverted Sentence,Subject Complement,Relative Pronoun,Relative Pronoun as subject of subordinate clause,titles of work,Company Names,Words mentioned as Words,Gerund phrases, 2009-09-14 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/867384 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/857643 key terms that help study the American Revolution 2009-09-02 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/857643 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/820559 constitutional law privileges and immunities clause 2009-05-30 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/820559 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/725399 Subordinate clauses, unlike principal clauses, cannot stand on their own as a sentence 2009-01-06 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/725399 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/663682 Use this group of flash cards to study different types of clauses: independent vs dependent ... and then to identify the type of dependent clause: adjective, adverb or noun clause. 2008-09-22 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/663682
