Italian term or phrase: istanziata
describes the respondent in a court case as 'istanziata' in the heading - no other context.

I wonder if this just means 'on which a writ has been served'

Any ideas?

defendant
Explanation:
yes, the defendant, respondent. This should be enough, because obviously you only become a defendant once a writ has been served on you anyway, so usually there's no point spelling out 'person on whom the writ/claim has been served' - it means exactly the same thing

filed/claimed


Explanation:
I think it means filed or claimed, for example istanza di divorzio means to file a divorce. And as it is used in the heading, what has been claimed or filed should be clearly written below "istanziata".
