Simple English definitions for legal terms

commencement of action

Read a random definition: demurrer to interrogatories

A quick definition of commencement of action:

Commencement of action refers to the start of a legal case. This happens when someone files a formal complaint with a court or administrative agency. It's the beginning of the process where the court or agency will hear evidence and make a decision.

A more thorough explanation:

Commencement of action refers to the start of a legal proceeding. It is the point at which the judicial or administrative process begins. This process is usually initiated by filing a formal complaint.

For example, if someone wants to sue another person for breach of contract, they would need to file a complaint with the court. This would be the commencement of the legal action.

In another example, if a company wants to challenge a decision made by a government agency, they would need to file an administrative appeal. This would be the commencement of the administrative process.

These examples illustrate how the commencement of action is the starting point for any legal or administrative proceeding. Without this initial step, the case cannot move forward.
