A petition is a written appeal from a participant in a trial to a judge in charge of a case or, in general, to a court. In fact, it can be a request, explanation, demand, etc. According to the law, any application must be considered without fail. But, since it is a business document, it is necessary in any case to adhere to certain requirements for its design and content.
How to make an application
The application must be made in writing. The Code of Administrative Offenses does not provide for any specific rules for drawing up this document, but in any case, it must be written in accordance with the requirements for business correspondence.
In the event that a request or demand that you want to set out in the form of a petition arose directly in the course of the court session, it is allowed to submit it orally, and it must be entered into the record.
This means that to write its text, regardless of whether you are writing it by hand or typing on a computer, sheets of the standard A4 format are used, and margins are left on top, bottom, right and left. The left margin must be at least 3 cm, the rest - 1.5 cm each. The application must have an address part, which is located in the upper right corner. It should write the position, last name and first name of the person to whom you are applying with the application and your details - last name, first name, patronymic, residence address and passport data. Under the address part in the middle of the sheet, you should write the title of the document, after which the text of the application itself should already follow.
Only in some cases, specifically stipulated in the Code of Procedure, the petition should be drawn up taking into account certain requirements set forth there. Such cases include petitions to secure a claim, to challenge a judge or to provide a copy of a writ of execution.
What to write in the text of the application
When making a request or demand to the court, you can use any sample of such requests that can be viewed on the Internet. The text should be drawn up, presenting your thought consistently and logically, using compelling reasons, so that the court does not have a reason to refuse to satisfy it.
In the text of the application, which has a complex form, it is necessary to provide links to the normative acts confirming the legality of the requirements set out in the document.
In the appeal, list the data of the persons participating in the trial and be sure to indicate the case number. List those good reasons why you are forced to go to court with this demand or request. If there are documents confirming your words and are sufficient grounds for the application, they must be attached to this document. Clearly and reasonably state the request or demand itself, do not forget to put your signature and give its transcript, as well as indicate the date of the request.
