Parties

What are Parties?

Parties are individuals, corporations, or associations involved in a lawsuit as plaintiffs or defendants.

According to Black’s Law Dictionary, parties are defined as “persons or entities actively participating in a transaction or proceeding.” Due to the formal nature of the proceedings, each party has specific rights, duties, and interests related to the legal matter. Parties can include plaintiffs or those bringing the lawsuit, and defendants, those who refute the allegations; they can also include third-party defendants who are asserted as being partially responsible for the plaintiff’s claims. 

The most important responsibility of a party is the burden of proof. In a civil case, this falls to the plaintiff.  Understanding the roles and identities of the parties is crucial for determining legal responsibilities, enforcing rights, and reaching resolutions in disputes.
