disagree  Eliza Hall: That guess makes sense, but I'm pretty sure the English term is an abbreviation for "Summons and Complaint."

disagree  Eliza Hall: I'm pretty sure the term is an abbreviation for "Summons and Complaint." When OP confirms that it's from a docket, I'll be sure, but everything I've seen points that way..

Assignation et Demande


Explanation:
If this term (sums complaint) comes from a docket (i.e. a list of documents filed in a court case), I strongly suspect it is an abbreviation meaning "Summons and Complaint."

Those two documents are always served together; the Summons tells the defendant that they've been sued, by whom and why, and how long they have to file an answer, while the Complaint sets out in detail why they've been sued.

When I googled the English term, the entire first page of results was nothing but dockets (often dockets attached to legal pleadings to show what papers had been filed in the case at bar or related litigation). If a "sums complaint" were a type of complaint, as others have suggested, the results should have included court opinions discussing such complaints. They didn't. So I am pretty sure this is an abbreviation for summons and complaint.
