Act on petition is a "summary process" used in probate, ecclesiastical and divorce cases, designed 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.[1][2] Black's Law Dictionary specifies it as an obsolete method used in admiralty cases.[3] In the United States, the "act on petition" has been used in maritime cases.[4]
