Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Portuguese term or phrase: p.i. (in a legal context)
Context:"junta como doc. n.º 10 na p.i. ... art. 26.º da douta p.i. da X "

This abbreviation appears frequently in a contract I am translating. I am assuming it refers to a document included in an annex?
Thank-you for your help.

original petition - petição inicial


Explanation:
I think that petição inicial is what the text is referring to but I think the translation would be "original petition".
