Suit

Treasury Note

Generic term for any filing of a complaint (or petition) asking for legal redress by judicial action, often called a “lawsuit.” in common parlance a suit asking for a court order for action rather than a money judgment is often called a “petition,” but technically it is a “suit in equity.”
