English translation:argued preliminarily that the complaint brief is defective
Explanation:
the "inicial" would usually be the "petition" or the "complaint brief." It's quite common for the opposing party to argue that there's something wrong with that document - filed too late, addressed to the wrong party, party not properly represented etc etc
