:''Distinguish from correspondent.'' In English law, a co-respondent is, in general, a respondent to a petition, or other legal proceeding, along with another or others, or a person called upon to answer in some other way.〔Bond ''et al.'' (2007) 7.4.19〕 == Divorce == More particularly, since the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857, in a petition for divorce on the ground of adultery, a co-respondent is a person charged with misconduct with the petitioner's spouse. , alleged parties to a spouse's adultery must be made co-respondents unless they are not named in the petition or the court directs otherwise.〔Family Procedure Rules SI1991/1247, (r.2.7(1) )〕〔"(Co-respondent )", ''Encyclopaedia Britannica'' () (1911)〕 ' In practice, naming such parties in a divorce petition is discouraged as it may become a barrier to reconciliation. Such parties are only commonly named if the petitioner is seeking costs against them or has some other particular reason.〔〔Law Society (2006)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Co-respondent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
