It is the physical facts, the things real or personal, the money, lands, and chattels in relation to which a suit is prosecuted. Subject matter of action is not the delict or wrong committed by the defendant. For example in a defamation action, the subject matter of the action is the allegedly slanderous statements made at the meeting.
