In the province of Ontario, the document that initiates a court action is the Statement of Claim. This document sets out the details of the plaintiff's claim and must be served on the defendant to begin the legal proceedings. The other options listed (Writ of summons, Statement of defence, Appearance, and Discovery) are also important documents in the court process, but they do not initiate the court action.
