Who is the party in a civil case against whom a complaint has been brought?

The party (a group or an individual) in a civil case against whom a complaint, or a petition, has been filled is called the defendant or respondent. The plaintiff or claimant, on the contrary, is the party that has brought the lawsuit to court, and the one that has to prove the case - that the defendant has indeed committed a crime or done something illegal and is therefore guilty.

The term defendant, which derives from the French "to defend," was first used in this meaning in the 14th century.

mythology i believe

depends on the age of the teen, many believe by the age of 16 a person should know the strong difference between right and wrong along with the difference between risky and immediate death. swimming with sharks might be dangerous but swimming with sharks while bloody meat is attached to you is just insane. even more if you have no idea what you're doing. however, no matter the age, as long as the person is skilled enough and has the mental and physical capacity to control their actions doing whatever sport they put their mind to is all that matters.
