A quick definition of statement of claim:

A statement of claim is a document that a person files when they want to start a lawsuit. It explains what the person is complaining about and what they want the court to do to fix the problem. In England, it is called a declaration.

A more thorough explanation:

A statement of claim is a legal document that a plaintiff files to initiate a civil lawsuit. It is also known as a complaint in some jurisdictions.

For example, if someone sues their neighbor for property damage, they would file a statement of claim with the court. The statement of claim would outline the details of the incident, the damages suffered, and the relief sought.

The purpose of a statement of claim is to provide the defendant with notice of the lawsuit and the allegations against them. It also sets out the legal basis for the plaintiff's claim and the relief they are seeking.

Overall, a statement of claim is an important document in the civil litigation process, as it sets the stage for the entire lawsuit.
