Memo of Parties
The formal list of every party to a proceeding, with their full names, descriptions, and addresses.
Detailed Meaning
The Memo of Parties (sometimes called the cause title in a longer form) formally names and describes every petitioner/plaintiff and respondent/defendant to a proceeding, along with the address at which each is to be served, and their capacity (e.g. an individual, a company through its director, a government department through its secretary). Its accuracy matters directly for service of notice and for the court's own record of who is bound by the eventual order.
