Innklagede

Innklagede is a Norwegian term that translates to "defendant" or "respondent" in English legal contexts. It refers to the party against whom a legal action or lawsuit is brought. In civil proceedings, the innklagede is the person or entity being sued. In criminal proceedings, it is the accused individual. The innklagede has specific rights and obligations within the legal system, including the right to legal representation and the opportunity to present a defense. The specific procedures and terminology may vary slightly depending on whether the case is civil or criminal, but the fundamental role of the innklagede remains the same. They are the party responding to the claims or accusations made by the opposing party, often referred to as the "saksøker" (plaintiff or claimant) in civil cases or "aktor" (prosecutor) in criminal cases. The outcome of the legal process will determine the responsibility or guilt of the innklagede.
