informant Explanation: .... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2009-12-02 18:23:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- THE plaintiff(s) is the person(s), who, once a case has reached court, presses the charges on the defendant that are then argued for by the prosecution. In this sense the plaintiff can be said to be the one "taking" the defendant to court. The plaintiffs might not have given information to the police (and of course the case might be civil as opposed to criminal), and may not necessarily be called as witnesses, but they will have been DEEMED by the court to have sufficient grounds for pressing charges. An informant is anyone whose information to the police led to the arrest and/or prosecution of the defendant; the term especially refers to the most important supplier of the information. Informants might not give testimony as witnesses, provided that there are other witnesses who can supply testimony. The asker gives a definition that suggests 'informant', but then supplies context which suggests 'plaintiff'. I am not totally sure which word the asker really means. |
