One can become a respondent in a divorce case when their partner files for a divorce. The one who files the divorce is the petitioner and the other partner is the respondent.
In legal contexts, the petitioner is the party who initiates a lawsuit or brings a case before a court, seeking a specific outcome or remedy. The respondent, on the other hand, is the party who responds to the claims made by the petitioner in a legal proceeding.
The parties to a US Supreme Court case are typically referred to as the Petitioner and the Respondent. This is approximately analogous to the Plaintiff (Petitioner) and Defendant (Respondent) in a criminal case.
Yes. The Petitioner (or Appellant) brings his or her case against the Respondent (or Appellee). The Petitioner is the one who files a petition for a writ of certiorari.Usually, this means the Petitioner lost in the intermediate Court of Appeals, but there have been occasional instances where the winning party files first, in anticipation of the decision being challenged. This strategy is sometimes employed because the Petitioner gets to present his (or her) case first, and may reserve a portion of his allotted 30 minutes for rebuttal after the Respondent has argued. Having an opportunity to rebut the opponent's argument can present a significant advantage.
In a nutshell what this implies is that the respondent has won the case and the petitioner-or the person bringing on the case against the respondent has lost the appeal and ordered by the court to pay back the respondents costs..usually..his legal costs.I hope this answers your query.[Syed Amir]
Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436 (1966)Ernesto Miranda was the plaintiff; the state of Arizona was the defendant. In a court case, the plaintiff/petitioner's name is always listed first, and the defendant/respondent's name is listed last.
The party that brings the case, or files a petition for writ of certiorari, is called the Petitioner. The opposing party is called the Respondent.
The Petitioner is the party that files the appeal (petition for writ of certiorari) with the Supreme Court. Typically, this means whichever party lost the last appeal, but either party may file first. If the case is important enough that the parties suspect the Supreme Court will grant certiorari, they may each try to petition the Court first. The reason is that the Petitioner is allowed to present rebuttal (an answer to the Respondent's argument) during oral arguments, whereas the Respondent is not. This may give the petitioner a strategic advantage.
Burton Marks and Harvey A. Schneider argued for the petitioner (Katz). And John S. Martin, Jr. argued for the respondent (United States).
when the Supreme court decides to hear a case, the petitioner and the respondent each prepare a written brief. In case where the outcome will affect a group, but the group is not involved in the case, a "friend of the court" brief may be requested.
