Terms Used In Alabama Code 6-5-465

  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.

If a claim upon which no action has been filed survives on the death of a defendant, substitution of his personal representative may be effected under the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure; but final judgment must not be entered against a personal representative if he objects until after the expiration of six months from the grant of letters testamentary or of administration.
