10 bring an action against smb.
(bring (или take) an action against smb.)возбудить против кого-л. (судебное) делоI think I should tell you that if you brought an action for divorce we should have to contest it. You would find it impossible to get the necessary evidence and you would lose your case. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘P. and O.’) — Хочу вам сказать, что, если вы решитесь возбудить дело о разводе, мы будем оспаривать каждое ваше слово. Вам не удастся представить ни одной улики, и вы проиграете дело.
You're well in now and can afford to pay your debts. I've got some receipts that will come in handy if I'm forced to take legal action. (K. S. Prichard, ‘Golden Miles’, ch. 58) — Вы теперь богатый человек и можете уплатить свои долги. У меня есть кое-какие расписки, и я сумею ими воспользоваться, если мне придется подать в суд.
