In the law, a cause of action (sometimes called a claim) is a set of facts sufficient to justify a right to sue. The phrase is also used to reference the legal theory upon which a plaintiff brings suit (such as
breach of contract,
battery, or
false imprisonment).To pursue a cause of action, a plaintiff
pleads or
alleges facts in a
complaint, the pleading that initiates a lawsuit. A cause of action generally encompasses both the
legal theory (the legal wrong the plaintiff claims to have suffered) and the
remedy (the relief a court is asked to grant). Often the facts or circumstances that entitle a person to seek judicial relief may create multiple causes of action.
