A quick definition of usee:

Term: USEE

Definition: A usee is a plaintiff who brings an action in someone else's name. This is common in common-law pleading when the use plaintiff is an assignee of a chose in action and has to sue in someone else's name. For example, if A is the assignee and B is the assignor, the petition's title would be "B for the Use of A against C." Usee is another term for a use plaintiff.

[Cases: Parties 4. C.J.S. Parties §§ 7, 17–20.]

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Usee is a term used in common-law pleading to refer to a plaintiff who brings an action in another person's name. It is also known as "use plaintiff".

Example: If someone assigns their right to sue to another person, the assignee (use plaintiff) would have to sue in the name of the assignor. For instance, if A assigns their right to sue to B, and B sues C, the title of the petition would read "B for the Use of A against C".

Explanation: The example illustrates how a use plaintiff brings an action in another person's name. In this case, B is the plaintiff, but they are suing on behalf of A, who is the use plaintiff. The use plaintiff is the one who has the right to sue, but they cannot sue in their own name, so they use the name of the assignor.
