Explanation:

In a civil procedure, first, a lawsuit commences when a plaintiff files a complaint describing grievances, and stating the people involved. Second, the court releases summons and serves it to the defendant who has to respond within a period of time. Third, the defendant has to answer the complaint, or else the court could announce a default judgment that would favor the plaintiff. Fourth, as the case may be, the defendant could make a counterclaim against the original complaint raised by the plaintiff. Fifth, and finally—in order to make good judgment—a discovery will be made to find out facts about the civil lawsuit: all parties will be interrogated, including witnesses if necessary.
