lessor of the plaintiff

Read a random definition: foreman

A quick definition of lessor of the plaintiff:

LESSOR OF THE PLAINTIFF: The lessor of the plaintiff is the person who is the real owner of a property and is suing to get it back from someone who is wrongfully occupying it. In the past, when people sued for this, they had to pretend to be someone else who had a lease on the property, but now they can sue in their own name.

A more thorough explanation:

The lessor of the plaintiff is the true party in interest who brings an action for ejectment. In common law, an ejectment action was only for the recovery of the unexpired term of the lease. However, conventions of pleadings required the true plaintiff to grant a fictitious lease to an equally fictitious plaintiff in whose name the action would be prosecuted.

John owns a property and leases it to Mary for five years. After two years, Mary stops paying rent and refuses to leave the property. John, as the true party in interest, brings an action for ejectment against Mary as the fictitious plaintiff. In this case, John is the lessor of the plaintiff.

This example illustrates how the lessor of the plaintiff is the true owner of the property who brings an action for ejectment against the tenant who refuses to leave the property.
