Originating Application

An originating application is the first, provisional, or primary application in any legal process, such as a lawsuit, application for a real estate mortgage, patent, or bankruptcy petition.

In Australia, it is the first claim made in its Supreme Court.

In England, it is a term desaribing the initial bankruptcy petition. It may also be used in England for administrative appeals.

In the United States, an originating application is usually reserved for the first form filed to secure a bank loan or mortgage.

Famous quotes containing the words originating and/or application:

    Uniform ideas originating among entire peoples unknown to each other must have a common ground of truth.
    Giambattista Vico (1688–1744)

    My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)
