Assignments of Error

1. The circuit court failed to rule on Petitioner\\u2019s argument, based on uncontroverted evidence, that this action commenced upon the submission of multiple signed Complaints to the Clerk\\u2019s office on August 4, 2015.

2. The circuit court erroneously construed Va. Code \\xa7 8.01-271.1 not to apply to initial pleadings and, based on that erroneous construction, concluded that Petitioner\\u2019s \\u201conly remedy was to file a properly signed complaint in a new action.\\u201d

3. The circuit court erroneously construed Va. Code \\xa7 8.01-271.1 to require leave of court to correct the omission of a signature on a pleading.

4. The circuit court erred by concluding that Petitioner failed to demonstrate that his former counsel \\u201cpromptly\\u201d cured the omission of a signature after it was called to his attention, as authorized by Va. Code \\xa7 8.01-271.1.

5. The circuit court erred by concluding that there was insufficient evidence to establish when the Complaint had been signed.
