In the US we might see courts discussing "the case as pled" (or as plead, same thing), which just means the case as set forth in the complaint that was filed. Here, your text says the document hasn't even been served on the opposing party yet. That means it's just one document, not a back-and-forth of documents from both parties. So in essence, it's the complaint itself and any documents attached to it. In a court of first instance this would be la plainte au civil. At the appellate level it could be called a mémoire, but since the defendant is outside the jurisdiction and apparently hasn't been served, this sounds like it must be at the first-instance level. Hence, plainte. Googling your exact phrase brought up only one hit, which was in the England & Wales High Court: https://www.casemine.com/judgement/uk/5a8ff82d60d03e7f57ebc3... The word "draft" initially struck me as bizarre, because normally means brouillon or projet ("projet de résolution" = draft resolution), but it makes no sense to have a court review a draft (non-final version). However, reading the above case at the link, the term is used when Party A wants to amend their pleadings (i.e. change/add something in the original complaint); Party A submits a "draft" to the court (in the US we would say they're submitting a "proposed" amendment to the complaint, not a "draft"), so that the court can read it and decide whether Party A should be allowed to file the amendment. So I've put "à déposer" to indicate that this document hasn't been filed yet. |
