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/1638893 Drugs covered in class that need to be memorized 2011-02-01 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1638893 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1403648 Mock Trial Rules of Evidence about Relevancy 2010-07-27 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1403648 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/942742 Terminos/Conceptos 2009-12-10 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/942742 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/870871 These are basically the federal rules of evidence as well as notes associated with material the professor has specifically pointed out in class. 2009-09-18 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/870871 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/845400 Verbs relevant to passato prossimo 2009-08-05 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/845400 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/778834 nouns 2009-03-26 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/778834 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/768668 Flashcards made for my 8th grade classes in 2008-2009 2009-03-10 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/768668 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/408674 Contract Cases for fall 2006 2006-11-22 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/408674 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/334704 Relevant Musculature and Terms 2006-02-21 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/334704 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/278836 Evidence 2005-03-29 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/278836
