English term or phrase: complainant

Ja ja, hij staat in het woordenboek. Eiser, aanklager, reclamant, is allemaal te juridisch. Klager klinkt ook niet al te best. Ik ga nu voor "klagende partij", maar een betere suggestie is zoals altijd welkom! Context hieronder. Dank.

XX believes that any stakeholder, regardless of their affiliation to XX has the right to make a complaint for mistakes, wrongful actions or breaches of the codes to which XX and its partners and members subscribe. XX believes that complainants have a right to have their concerns addressed and receive a response.

2: All complaints should be addressed to XX in writing by email or mail. XX will endeavor to assess and respond to complaints in writing as quickly as possible (preferably within 14 days of receipt). Complainants will be kept informed of delays to investigation of an issue (e.g. due to unavailability of relevant staff, etc), or where it has been referred to a partner organisation.

klager

Explanation:
Ja ja, ik weet dat je het niet zo mooi vindt ;) maar wat is er mis mee? Het wordt algemeen gebruikt. Klagende partij kan natuurlijk ook, maar als je daarmee te vaak in herhalingen valt, klinkt het ook niet meer zo lekker.

iedereen / degene die een klacht indient

Explanation:
mits de gegeven context de ENIGE plek is waar deze term wordt genoemd, ben ik het met je eens dat "klager" een lelijk woord is.

als het maar twee keer voorkomt, kun je gewoon een elegante omschrijving geven:

1. XX meent dat iedereen die een klacht indient, het recht heeft ...
2. Degene die de klacht heeft ingediend, wordt op de hoogte gehouden ...
