Abstract
When a lawsuit is properly filed in court, a dispute is established between the parties for the purpose of applying the law. Undoubtedly, this dispute involves procedures imposed by law, which make it a legal act, regardless of whether the claimed right exists or not. Whether the intended purpose of the lawsuit is achieved through acceptance or rejection, the dispute nevertheless remains valid as a legal act. the legal acts constituting the existing dispute are primarily procedural acts. While formality is the characteristic that distinguishes civil procedure law from other branches of substantive law, the law mandates that these acts be clear and unambiguous to prevent the jeopardizing of rights due to their violation and the resulting serious damages that are often difficult to redress.
