A quick definition of appellee:
Appellee: The appellee is the person or group that someone is appealing against. They defend themselves against the appeal. The appellant is the person who is unhappy with a decision and wants to change it by going to a higher court. The appellee is also called the respondent. For example, if someone sues another person and wins, the person who lost can file an appeal. In this case, the person who lost is the appellant, and the person who won is the appellee. If the roles are reversed, the person who won becomes the appellant, and the person who lost becomes the appellee.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: The appellee is the party against whom an appeal is filed and who responds to and defends the appeal. It is also known as the respondent. The appellant, on the other hand, is the party who appeals a lower court's decision to a higher court.
Example: Let's say that Person A sues Person B and wins the case. If Person B is not happy with the outcome, they can file an appeal. In this scenario, Person B becomes the appellant, and Person A becomes the appellee. Person B is appealing the decision made by the lower court, and Person A is defending the decision.
If Person B wins the appeal, the roles are reversed. Person A can file an appeal, and Person B becomes the appellee, while Person A becomes the appellant.
Explanation: The example illustrates how the appellee is the party that responds to and defends the appeal. In the first scenario, Person A is the appellee because they are defending the lower court's decision. In the second scenario, Person B becomes the appellee because they are defending the decision made by the higher court.
