Why is the plaintiff important?
A plaintiff files a complaint with a court against the defendant, initiating the action. In bringing an action, a civil suit must be prosecuted in the name of real party in interest, so the plaintiff must be the person or a representative of the person who possesses a claim against the defendant.
