A respondent is someone who answers to a case in court. This term is commonly used in the civil sense, with a person in a similar position in a criminal case being termed the defendant.
In a civil case, the party who initiates the lawsuit is called the plaintiff (or, sometimes, the petitioner or complainant). In a criminal case, it is the State of Hawai`i â generally represented in court by either a county deputy prosecutor or a state deputy attorney general â that initiates the lawsuit.
