They represent the plaintiff in civil cases against the defendant/respondant.
plaintiff
A plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s actions caused harm or injury to the plaintiff, that the defendant had a legal obligation to act differently, and that the defendant failed to meet that obligation. Furthermore, the plaintiff must also show evidence to support their claims and demonstrate that they have suffered damages as a result of the defendant’s actions.
