Claim (legal)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A claim is a legal action to obtain money, property or the enforcement of a right protected by law against another party. The legal document which carries a claim is called a Statement of Claim. It can be any communication notifying the addressee of any allegedly faulty execution which resulted in damages, often expressed in amount of money that the party should pay/reimburse.
There are several issues that are of concern when filing a statement of claim. Although a Statement of claim is fairly straight forward to file, it is important that it be done properly or you may lose your case due to a simple technicality.
