Esta frase aparece varias veces en el documento y como es el "nombre" del documento mismo y se repite varias veces no hay manera de darle la vuelta, seguramente es simple pero no doy una!

bill of complaint


Explanation:
Es el término que generalmente se utiliza. En muchos casos se brincan la parte de "bill of", pero la traducción correcta es "bill of complaint", al menos para Estados Unidos.

¡Suerte!

application


Explanation:
"application" is often preferred in Europe (particularly in the Court of Justice of the EC (ECJ), where it is used throughout the Rules of Procedure). The ECJ website is a useful source of procedural terms (with a UK and Irish flavour) since it contains the full text of the Rules of Procedure of the ECJ (and of the Court of First Instance) in all the languages of the European Union. A majority of the terms used are probably acceptable in US legal English.
