Whether the defective initial filing should be treated as a valid action and proceed on the merits
No. The submission lacked clear conclusions and a proper statement of facts, and it was not cured within the time limit; the case was therefore removed from the docket.
In a dispute under Art. 73 LPP and Arts. 106 ff. LPA-VD, the initiating act must take the form of an action with clear conclusions and numbered facts. Because the claimant did not remedy the irregular filing after the judge's invitation, the court could not proceed further.
