I am Mariya Borevich, your personal lawyer. My primary goal is to help clients find optimal solutions to current legal issues, ensuring reliable protection of their interests. I specialize in family, civil, and military law, which allows me to effectively handle a variety of situations and cases. In family law, I provide support in resolving issues related to divorce, property division, establishing and challenging parental rights, alimony, and child custody. I understand that these matters are often emotionally complex, so I always strive to find the most delicate and fair solutions for all parties involved. In civil law, I assist in settling disputes related to contracts, property rights, compensation for damages, inheritance, and other issues concerning the protection of personal and property interests. Special attention is given to military law — supporting servicemen, protecting their rights and interests related to military service, social guarantees, and legal disputes. This area requires deep knowledge and understanding of the specifics of military service and the legislation regulating it.
A statement of claim is a written document that is submitted to the court for the purpose of initiating a civil lawsuit. This is an official document that contains a claim under the law and the circumstances on which the claim is based. The statement of claim sets out the issues that will be considered by the court and asks the court to make a decision in the case.
The main components of a statement of claim usually include:
1. Information about the parties: The application contains information about the plaintiff (the person filing the claim) and the defendant (the person against whom the claim is filed), including their full names, addresses and other details.
2. Statement of facts: The statement of claim contains a description of the facts on which the claim is based, including dates, events and circumstances relevant to the case.
3. Subject of the claim: The statement clearly formulates what claim the plaintiff is making before the court, for example, compensation for damages, recognition of the right to something, performance of a contract, etc.
4. Grounds for the claim: The statement contains legal arguments supporting the claimant's claim, indicating relevant legal norms or other justifications.
5. Request to the court: The application contains a request to the court to make an appropriate decision that will satisfy the claimant's requirements.
6. Evidence: The statement may contain a list of evidence that the claimant relies on to support its position.
The statement of claim is an important stage in civil proceedings, which begins the process of consideration of the case by the court. It must be drawn up in accordance with the requirements of the law and contain all the necessary information for the correct consideration of the case by the court.
The process of submitting an application to court may depend on the specific requirements and procedures in force in the country, as well as on the type of case and information about the parties. However, the general steps typically involved in this process may look like the following:
1. Preparation of the application: The first step is the preparation of the application, which contains the requirements and justification of the position of the parties. This may include details of the parties, statement of facts, legal arguments, court requirements and other relevant information.
2. Choice of court: The plaintiff must determine to which specific court the application should be filed. This may depend on the location of the parties, the place where the events took place, the type of case, etc.
3. Submission of an application to the court: The plaintiff submits an application to the court according to the established procedure. This may require filling out an appropriate application form and submitting it to the court administration or other relevant institution.
4. Payment of a court fee: Some countries may require payment of a court fee when filing an application with a court. The claimant must deposit the required amount if required.
5. Registration of the application: After submitting the application, the court administration registers it and assigns a number to the case.
6. Notification of the defendant: After the registration of the application, the court notifies the defendant of the start of the legal process, giving him the opportunity to submit a response to the application.
This is a general description of the process of preparing a lawsuit, filing in court. As the procedures may differ depending on the country and the type of case, it is important to familiarize yourself with the relevant rules and requirements before filing a lawsuit in court.
