claimant and defendant

Although "parte" could be translated as "party", I don't think it's necessary to include it in this case.

Please note that according to wikipedia, "claimant" has replaced "plaintiff" in legal usage in the United Kingdom (see wikipedia reference above).

agree Rebecca Jowers : "Claimant" did indeed replace "plaintiff" in England and Wales with the (relatively) new Civil Procedure Rules that came into force in 1999

Thanks, Rebecca
agree AllegroTrans : Yes, it was so that the ignorant masses would have a chance of understanding the law; they also did away with "writs" and "summonses" (heaven knows why)

please note that although Claimant has officially replaced Plaintiff, it is only in England and Wales and not the UK, and it is still less commonly used...
