Indictment

Complaint
A complaint is the initial pleading by the plaintiff in a civil action that sets out the facts and the basis of the claim. It serves to give notice to the adversary of the nature and basis of the plaintiff's assertions. In criminal law, a complaint is the preliminary charge made by one person against another, though formal proceedings cannot commence without an indictment or information.
