Hi,
All codes are intended as a blueprint of social regulation that attempts to guide individuals through society from birth to death.
Official documents informing the defendant of a plaintiff's claim against him and ordering him to respond to the claim within a number of days.
Blueprint - a detailed plan, detailed instructions on how to do something.
Plaintiff - a person who 'complains' to a court, ie who brings a case against another person to court.
Did you check your dictionary? ![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/emotion-1.gif)
Best wishes, Clive
