Law/Patents - Law (general)
Chinese term or phrase: 诉讼请求
Sentences:
1. 你应当在起诉状中写明诉讼请求以及事实与理由。
2. 你必须提出具体的诉讼请求和事实根据。

First of all: is it the same thing in both sentences?

I am confused: this 诉讼请求 is described as included in the 起诉状 and I am unsure on how to translate it.

Thank you very much!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Jianlong Sun: First of all, 诉讼请求in the two sentences means the same, but as Anglo-Sexon law is not civil law, it is hard to find an equivalent. 诉讼请求in the first sentence can be translated into "cause of action" and in the second, "claims".
