    0.03 sec.

The section of a modern complaint that states the redress sought from a court by a person who initiates a lawsuit.

A civil action is commenced with the filing of a complaint with the court.

Within a complaint, the claim for relief portion sets forth a short, concise statement justifying the relief requested by the plaintiff.
