E&W injunction: Claimant/Applicant vs. Defendant/Respondent

This is the way - unfortunately with dashes mixing up with the punctuation of the question - injunction applications in the High Court are headed in England & Wales, plus Brit. Comm. countries: see the web ref., but not Scotland where the process is called an 'interdict'.

The reason is that the injunction-stage Applicant may turn - at any full trial and then Beschluß stage - into a Claimant (Plaintiff) and the Respondent into a Defendant.

Previous ProZ answers, oblivious to this procedure, have not picked up on this point.


Example sentence:

Miss Carol Davis for 1st Defendant/Applicant Miss Hilary Phillips Q.C. & Miss Nesta Claire Smith instructed by Ernest A. Smith & co, for Claimant/Respondent

Peer comment(s):

agree Hermeneutica : BTW it pretty much works the same way in the US - and also not just at injunction but also at appeal stage --- You're into a well-kept secret ;-)!

Thx for the hermeneutics.
agree Michael Kucharski : claimant/respondent

the antonyms in E&W are really: (injunction) applicant vs. respondent & (trial) claimant vs. defendant. Petitioner is used in family and insolvency petition contexts.

Petitioner/Respondent

(USA only.) (UK I believe it is Claimant/Defendant.)
Peer comment(s):

agree Kent Hyde : Agree with U.S. usage. Claimant/Respondent also applicable.

False.
agree Peter Manda (X) : not only "US" - general international practice. "Claimant/Respondent" is very rarely used ... (well, maybe, in the UK, but that's rare enough)
