Some examples from this set of practice questions

3.
Party presentation
Answer: Party presentation refers to the competence of a litigant to investigate his own cause or defence, to formulate the issues in dispute, as well as to present the material facts concerned, and to prove these facts and raise legal argument in support of these facts before a court.
4.
Party Prosecution
Answer: Party prosecution refers to the competence of a litigant either to commence (begin) or defend proceedings and to move (prosecute) the case forward through all its procedural stages.
