Which item is not required to be included in a statement of case?

• A. The Form of Authorization Used to Sign
• B. Court Order
• C. Facts to Be Relied On and the Allegations
• D. The Signer or Legal Representative On Their Behalf

Answer: (B)

The main idea is understanding what content goes into a statement of case. A statement of case is the pleading that sets out who is making the claim, who is defending, the facts being relied on, the allegations, and the remedies sought. It also shows who signed the document and that the signer had authority to sign on behalf of the party (the form of authorization used to sign and the signer or legal representative on their behalf). All of these details belong in the statement of case to explain the parties' positions and the basis for the claim.

A court order, by contrast, is a directive issued by the court to manage steps in the proceedings. It is a separate procedural document, not content that belongs in the statement of case itself. Hence, it is not required to be included in a statement of case.
