Parties (plaintiffs and defendants)
In legal terms, the parties in a case are the individuals or entities involved in a dispute. The plaintiff is the person or group who brings the case to court, claiming that they have been wronged or harmed and seeking a remedy. The defendant is the individual or entity being accused or sued, who responds to the plaintiff's claims. The plaintiff must provide evidence to support their case, while the defendant can present defenses to refute the allegations. Together, they participate in the legal process to resolve the issue at hand.
