    I’m undergoing some practice objective questions and the following asks:

    Which of the following is the name used for the person who commences a civil action?
    A: Appellant
    B: Plaintiff
    C: Claimant

    I answered Plaintiff but got the answer wrong, the correct one being C according to the answers.

    However aren’t both B and C correct?

    This was a question posed in the Kaplan Exam Kit 2020/21

    Hi

    So Claimant is the expression that is now used more commonly so this is the best option.

    Kind regards,

    Vijay
