These three words come back often. Everytime, I get to think before choosing between the three, and sometimes doubts persist�..
request (French requ�te) 1) v. a way of saying that a party to a lawsuit (or usually the attorney) is asking or demanding a judge to act (such as issuing a writ) or demanding something from the other party (such as production of documents). 2) n. the act of asking or demanding.
Demand (French Demande) Peremptory allegation or assertion of a legal right. A demand is an emphatic claim, which presumes that no doubt exists regarding its legal force and effect. It is a request made with authority. A money demand is a demand for a fixed sum of money that arises out of an agreement or contract. Commercial Paper is frequently payable on demand or immediately upon request.
Claim (French R�clamation) To demand or assert as a right. Facts that combine to give rise to a legally enforceable right or judicial action. Demand for relief. A claim is something that one party owes another. Someone may make a legal claim for money, or property, or for Social Security benefits. A claim also means an interest in, as in a possessory claim, or right to possession, or a claim of title to land.
claim 1) v. to make a demand for money, for property, or for enforcement of a right provided by law. 2) n. the making of a demand (assert a claim) for money due, for property, for damages or for enforcement of a right. If such a demand is not honored, it may result in a lawsuit. In order to enforce a right against a government agency (ranging for damages from a negligent bus driver to a shortage in payroll) a claim must be filed first. If rejected or ignored by the government, it is lawsuit time.
