Petition is a request to do something, most commonly addressed to a government official or public entity. Petitions to a deity are a form of prayer called supplication. In the colloquial sense, a petition is a document addressed to an official and signed by numerous individuals. A petition may be oral rather than written, or may be transmitted via the Internet. Act on petition is a "summary process" used in probate, ecclesiastical and divorce cases, adorned to handle matters which are too complex for simple motion. The parties in a case exchange pleadings until a cause for a hearing is settled.
