Respondent
A
respondent is a person who is called upon to issue a response to a communication made by another. In
legal usage, this specifically refers to the
defendant in a
legal proceeding commenced by a petition, or to an appellee, or the opposing party, in an
appeal of a decision by an initial fact-finder. The two sides in a Senate
impeachment trial are called the management and the respondent. In non-legal or informal usage, the term refers to one who refutes or responds to a thesis or an argument. In
