Albanian to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / prosecutor
Albanian term or phrase: kërkues
In a "kontest civil" you have a claimant and a defendant, and the Albanian word for claimant will be "kërkues". But in a criminal case, how do you translate "kërkues"?

Explanation:
https://www.thebalancesmb.com/what-is-a-plaintiff-in-a-lawsu...
"The plaintiff in a criminal case, in its broadest sense, is "society as a whole." The plaintiff isn't the victim. Depending on the crime, the government entity that has jurisdiction is considered the plaintiff. For example, kidnapping is a federal crime, so a federal prosecutor brings a case against the defendant and prosecutes it in federal court."

Example sentence(s):
  • The prosecution party must be represented by the state or private prosecutor in the consideration by the court of every criminal case.
  • If the prosecution party deems it necessary, it may ask as many jurors as possible to stand by during the composition of the panel.

claimant


Explanation:
In English law, 'plaintiff' is slightly out of date, but it's still in common use. 'Claimant' is the replacement term, or you can use 'complainant' too.
