มาตรา 18 — อำนาจศาลตรวจคำคู่ความ

คำแปลภาษาไทย

The court shall have the power to examine pleadings that the court officials have received for filing with the court, or for service on a party or any person.
If the court is of the opinion that a pleading so filed is illegible, or unintelligible, or written with excessive verbosity, or lacks particulars, lacks a signature, does not have attached the various documents required by law, or that the court fee has not been paid or deposited correctly and in full, the court may order that the pleading be returned to be redone, or amended or supplemented, or that the court fee be paid or deposited correctly and in full, within such time and on such conditions, including as to costs, as the court thinks fit. If there is a failure to comply with the court's requirement within the time or on the conditions fixed, the court shall order that the pleading not be accepted.
If the court is of the opinion that a pleading so submitted does not comply with the conditions imposed by law, apart from those mentioned in the preceding paragraph, and in particular when it appears that the right of the party or person submitting the pleading is restricted or prohibited by the provisions of law on the jurisdiction of the courts, the court shall order that the pleading not be accepted, or shall return it for submission to the court having jurisdiction.
If there is no such impediment, the court shall record its acceptance of the pleading on the pleading itself or elsewhere.
A court order not accepting or returning a pleading under this section may be appealed and further appealed as provided in sections 227, 228 and 247.
