Nor may anyone bring an action after the expiry of the period provided for by law. Most remedies are subject to a limitation period that expressly limits the time limit for appeal. If the law of a particular state states that a defamation action cannot be brought more than one year after the publication of a defamatory statement, such actions must be brought within that legal period. If there is no law limiting the time limit for bringing a particular action, a court can always dismiss the claim if the claim is time-barred and the dispute would not be fair at that time. The person bringing the action is the plaintiff, and the accused person is the defendant. They are the parties to the dispute. Often there are several parts on one side. The defendant may raise a plea which, if proven, will defeat the plaintiff`s claim. A counterclaim may be brought by the defendant against the plaintiff or a counterclaim against another party on the same side of the dispute. The law may permit the combination of two or more claims, such as a property damage claim and a bodily injury claim, as a result of a car accident; or it may require the actions to be joined by a court order. If harm or injustice is likely, the court may order a separation of claims into different disputes for different parties.

At one time, it was more correct to talk about lawsuits and proceedings or fair proceedings. However, the distinction is more technical in nature and is no longer relevant since the merging of law and equity. The term prosecution is more commonly used for civil actions than for criminal proceedings. The parents are taking legal action to challenge the closure of the school. A case or trial; a legal and formal request to assert its rights against another party, which is asserted in court.

The time at which an action can begin depends on the type of action. A plaintiff may not bring an action until the cause of action has arisen. For example, a man who wants to use land for a business where only houses are allowed must first apply to the local zoning board for a variance. He cannot bypass the commission and sue in court. His right of action exists only if the Régie dismisses his application. “Legal Steps.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/legal%20action.
