A "respondent" is a party to a lawsuit who files a written response to a pleading seeking affirmative relief by another party. It is generally reserved for a party filing a response to an appeal. The party taking the appeal is the "Appellant" and the responding party is the "Respondent." In less formal instances it can also refer to a party responding to a motion in a trial court matter as well. The term is not used to refer to a party answering an initial summons and complaint.
