PRAYER FOR RELIEF

(A) chan. pleading. This is the name of that part of the bill, which, as the phrase imports, prays for relief. This prayer is either general or special but the general course is for the plaintiff to make a special prayer for particular relief to which he thinks himself entitled, and then to conclude with a prayer of general relief at the discretion of the court. (B) It is what the plaintiff asks of the court, relief for an injury suffered either through the award of money damages as compensation or injunctive relief to prevent something from happening or the award of specific property in equity.
