An action case, in legal terminology, refers to a lawsuit or legal proceeding brought before a court to resolve a dispute between parties. This term is often used broadly to encompass any type of civil or criminal litigation where one party seeks relief or remedy against another. Action cases can involve a wide range of legal issues, such as breach of contract, personal injury, property disputes, or criminal offenses. The purpose of an action case is to seek a resolution, which may include compensation, injunctions, or other forms of relief, depending on the nature of the case and the applicable laws. The process typically involves pleadings, evidence presentation, legal arguments, and a decision rendered by the court.
Cause, suit, or controversy disputed or contested before a court of justice.
