Suits of a Civil Nature (Sec. 9)
A suit can be said to be of a civil nature if it involves
determination of civil rights
Civil rights mean the right & remedies vested in a
citizen, within the domain of private law as distinct form
rights related to criminal or political matters and public
law

Cause of Action
Action means suit & ‘cause of action’ means literally the cause or set
of circumstances which leads up to a suit.
A ‘cause of action’ arises when a legal right is infringed
Bundle of facts which give rise to a right or liability.
Bundle of facts, whose proof is a sine qua non for ultimate success
in the suit. (Sonic surgical v National Insurance)
Lord Brett: (Coke v Gill 1873): ‘cause of action’ means every fact
which it would be necessary for the plaintiff to prove, if traversed, in
order to support his right to the judgment of the Court.
Every plaint must disclose a cause of action.
