Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A plaintiff is the party who initiates a lawsuit by filing a complaint with a court. They are generally seeking a remedy, either monetary or non-monetary, for an alleged harm or wrong that they have suffered. The defendant is the party against whom the lawsuit is filed, and the sole proprietor is a type of business owner, not necessarily related to a lawsuit. A retainer is a fee paid to an attorney to secure their services, but not necessarily related to initiating a lawsuit.
