A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, a respondent refers to the party against whom an appeal or petition is filed, or the party who is required to answer a complaint or petition in a legal proceeding. The respondent typically responds to the allegations or claims made by the petitioner or plaintiff in a legal case.
Example: In the case of Smith v. Jones, the respondent failed to file a response to the plaintiff’s complaint within the specified time frame.
