2. filing (a lawsuit); instituting (legal proceedings)
In legal contexts, the act of formally initiating a court case or other legal action. Most commonly appears in the fixed expression 訴訟(そしょう)提起(ていき)する ('to file a lawsuit').

The company has decided to file a lawsuit against the former employee on grounds of leaking confidential information.

Composed of (てい) ('to present, put forward') + () ('to raise, start'). The combination suggests deliberately bringing something to the surface for others to engage with — a problem in sense 1, a legal action in sense 2.
