Filing of a Civil Suit

The process begins with the filing of a plaint (written complaint) by the plaintiff in a court of appropriate jurisdiction. It outlines the nature of the dispute, facts of the case, relief sought, and legal grounds for the claim. Court fees may apply, depending on the value of the claim.
