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)
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea!—incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
