Discrimination Lawsuit. A lawsuit is a civil action brought before a court of law in which a plaintiff, a party who claims to have received damages from a defendant's actions, seeks a legal or equitable remedy. The defendant is required to respond to the plaintiff's complaint.
Court cases that involve disputes between people or businesses over money or some injury to personal rights are called âcivilâ cases. A civil case usually begins when one person or business (called the plaintiff) claims to have been harmed by the actions of another person or business (called the defendant). The plaintiff starts a court case by filing a complaint (a document that outlines the plaintiffâs facts and legal theories and makes a request for relief).
