Demand, in economics, refers to the quantity of goods or services that the population aims to achieve, to satisfy your needs or desires.

  • Offer. The second assumption is the disposition of goods and services (offer), that is, if there is any individual or business It offers them and in what quantities it is carried out.
  • Place. Thirdly, the place can be mentioned, that is, what is the medium in which the goods or services are offered, this space can be physical or virtual.

Lawsuit

The claim must always be submitted in writing.

From the legal point of view, the claim is understood as a legal request in which the claims are made by one of the actors. It is intended that a judge intervene, either from the protection or recognition of the request.

The claim must be submitted in writing, stating the reason for it and the law that supports it. Some of the mandatory requirements that the lawsuit must present are: data of the defendant and the data of the plaintiff, the facts that lead to the demand, expressed precisely, the thing that is demanded, what is intended, expressing it in a positive and clear way, and finally the right that you want to assert.

The effects of a legal claim can be very diverse. They can be procedural or substantial. The former refer to the actors, that is to say, the plaintiff, the defendant and the judge. In the case of substantial effects, they are multiple and their classification is difficult since the same claim appeals to different rights.
