Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / appeal against insurance payout
Spanish term or phrase: parte petitoria
"En este case existe demanda y existe parte petitoria y en esta está incluido el pago de las mensualidades..."

English translation:plaintiff, petitioner, acting party
Explanation:
If we are dealing with a contract related dispute, the Parte Petitoria is just the Party who brings forth the complaint. The monthly payments reffered to in the parragraph above do not constitute damages per se, but more an obligation set forth within the contract that wes yet to be fulfilled. Damages usually come from an action by a party in which unforseen expenses or loss of income has resulted as a direct corolation to this party's actions. i.e. someone invloved in an automobile accident that brings for the total loss of the car can seek damages in a legal action.
From my understanding, the parragraph set forth above talks about monthly payments previously agreed upon by the parties to this action.

No, a "Parte" ALWAYS implies an actor. The document itself would be called "demanda". I bel;ieve that then, in this context, the accurate translation is Plaintiff. The word Petitioner is mostly utilized in Court for Family Court matters. This would start a Civil Case and therefore I think the right term is Plaintiff.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, this is the issue here, the insurance company refused to pay out the amount stated in the policy. But, I wonder, can 'parte petitoria' also refer to the claim itself, ie the actual document?

In most bilingual legal dictionaries "petitoria" is translated as "prayer for relief"

Alcaraz Varó y Hughes - Diccionario de términos jurídicos
Tom L. West, III. Spanish-English Dicitonary of Law and Buinsess
etc.

In Black's Law Dictionary, we have teh following definition:

"prayer for relief. A request addressed to the court and appearing at the end of a pleading; sep., a request for specific relief of damages. Often shortened to "prayer". Also termed "demand for relief". "

parte petitoria (Col.)
prayer for relief (part)


Explanation:
There exists a (statement of) claim and a prayer for relief and, within the latter, payement of monthly instalments.

How this can be twisted into a party is a disturbing phenomenon.
