In an appeal, the party against whom the appeal is taken is called:

• A. Appellant
• B. Array
• C. Appellee
• D. Arbiter

Answer: (C)

The party against whom an appeal is brought is called the appellee. In appellate practice, the person who files the appeal is the appellant, while the other side—the party defending the trial court’s decision—is the appellee (sometimes also called the respondent). The appellee responds to the appeal and argues that the lower court’s ruling should be upheld. For contrast, the term you don’t use here is the appellant (the one appealing); an array isn’t a legal term for a party in an appeal, and an arbiter is a decision-maker, not a party to the appeal.
