Examples of respondent in a Sentence

1. The British government:

   The right to institute a judicial action is constitutionally guaranteed one and right to fair hearing of a respondent is equally tolerated constitutionally. The right to determination of the dispute as presented by the contending parties is the exclusive responsibility of the judiciary.

2. Merrick Garland:

   In some circumstances, a respondent’s mental health condition may indicate that the respondent does not pose a danger to the community, of course, an individual may pose a danger to the community notwithstanding a mental health condition, and in those cases, the ‘ particularly serious crime ’ bar to asylum and withholding of removal may apply.

3. Greg Ellis:

   It is exceedingly rare for someone who is tagged as the respondent who has been put in the crosshairs with the false allegation of domestic violence — the silver bullet — to come out and get any kind of semblance of a victory, let alone have a voice, so, the fact that he was able to speak for the first time, and I think we saw from the trial as well, his humanity and the spirit and gentle nature of the man. He was consistent and only took responsibility for his faults and the mistakes that he made. He's never said he's perfect.

4. Wendy Young:

   She was clutching a doll, she couldn't see over the microphone at the respondent's table, and she couldn't answer the questions, she was afraid, as she was done,( the judge) asked in Spanish what the name of her doll was, and she answered' baby, baby doll' in Spanish. And that was it.

5. Thiruman Archunan:

   In the court of reason man is always a claimant and God is always a respondent. The original intention of the reason for creation of God is to make Him as a respondent as and when the need arises. Hence when a man is in trouble his reason tries to save him by acting as an arbitrator; the reason sitting as sole judge asks the man for his claims and makes the God to respond.
