The filing of a complaint starts the civil process. The complaint sets forth the type and amount of damages being claimed by the plaintiff (the person who is filing the lawsuit) against the defendant (the person being sued).

Types of damages: In civil cases in which damage is done to a party, that party can claim money damages. However, in some instances, depending on the case, a party may ask for something other than money damages. For example, a person may ask the court to issue an injunction against another party which bars a person from doing a specific act. The court may issue a restraining order restricting a defendant’s actions until the case is resolved. For example, a person signs a contract to buy a house from the homeowner and the owner turns around and sells the house for a second time to another person. The first buyer may ask the court to restrain the seller from completing the sale to the second buyer until the case between the first buyer and the seller is resolved.

Amount of civil damages: There are different levels related to the amount of claimed damages when filing a lawsuit. You should give thoughtful consideration when selecting whether you want to file your claim under the Small Claims rules or as a limited or unlimited civil c
