  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.

When it appears by the verdict or otherwise that such prior attachment was made with intent to delay or defraud creditors or that there was collusion between the plaintiff and defendant for that purpose, such attachment is void.
