Inverse property

Wouldn’t the inverse property be something like “is defendant in” rather than plaintiff (P1620) as is currently the case?―BlaueBlüte (talk) 01:00, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Differentiating civil and criminal cases

In Swedish there is no word that can include both the respondent in a civil case as well as the person prosecuted in a criminal case. I wonder if this problem comes up in other legal traditions as well and if it therefore would make sense to split the property into for example respondent and defendant. Thoughts?

Added 'minister' as a property constraint

I've added Q83307 as a property constraints. In English judicial review cases, the defendant in such an action is the Secretary of State for the appropriate department. For most immigration judicial reviews, it will be the Home Secretary (Q2484309). The position is being sued, not the individual. In the US, the individual is named, e.g. in a case like Q7313418.

This is somewhat clumsy, and if someone thinks up a better way of expressing this constraint, I'm happy for it to be changed. —Tom Morris (talk) 16:00, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
