Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complaint is the legal document that initiates a lawsuit and includes the allegations necessary for the court to take jurisdiction, including the identity of the parties, the basis for the lawsuit, and the relief sought. Summons is a document that informs the defendant of the lawsuit and the requirement to appear in court. Compliance documents and complied case files are not relevant to the jurisdictional aspects of the lawsuit. An evidence statement may be included as part of the complaint or presented later in the case, but it is not directly related to jurisdiction.
