Terms Used In 7 Guam Code Ann. § 31206

  • Answer: The formal written statement by a defendant responding to a civil complaint and setting forth the grounds for defense.
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • Oath: A promise to tell the truth.
  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
On the return of the alternative, or the day on which the application for the writ is noticed, the party on whom the writ or notice has been served may answer the petition under oath, in the same manner as an answer to a complaint in a civil action.

NOTE: See GRCP Rule 11. This section would seem not to be that sort which specially requires a verified petition, but rather permits one in the same manner as in regular actions. In such cases, verification is not required.
