To sue someone is to file a lawsuit against him. You can sue people or entities (like corporations or partnerships). A lawsuit is a formal complaint demanding relief from a court. Generally, one person/entity files the complaint, he provides a copy to the person being sued (defendant) through a formal process known as "service of process," and the other person responds to the complaint in writing. The court then oversees the preparation for the trial and the trial. At the end, the court decides who is right and who is wrong and issues a judgment. If the judgment requires payment of money, the person entitled to it may enforce it to take the defendants' assets to satisfy the judgment. The judgment may also include an order to do or not do something, called an "injunction."
