German term or phrase: Antragsteller/Antragsgegner
Guten Morgen,

es geht hier um einen gerichtlichen Beschluss. Im Wege einer einstweiligen Verfügung wird dem Antragsgegner verboten gewisse Inhalte (Videoaufzeichnungen) über den Antragssteller ins Internet zu stellen, da somit das allgemeine Persönlichkeitsrecht des Antragstellers verletzt wird...

Wie ist der Antragssteller/Antragsgegner in diesem Fall zu übersetzen?
Applicant?/Opponent?

E&W injunction: Claimant/Applicant vs. Defendant/Respondent
Explanation:
This is the way - unfortunately with dashes mixing up with the punctuation of the question - injunction applications in the High Court are headed in England & Wales, plus Brit. Comm. countries: see the web ref., but not Scotland where the process is called an 'interdict'.

The reason is that the injunction-stage Applicant may turn - at any full trial and then Beschluß stage - into a Claimant (Plaintiff) and the Respondent into a Defendant.

Previous ProZ answers, oblivious to this procedure, have not picked up on this point.

agree  Hermeneutica: BTW it pretty much works the same way in the US - and also not just at injunction but also at appeal stage --- You're into a well-kept secret ;-)!
5 mins
  -> Thx for the hermeneutics.
agree  Michael Kucharski: claimant/respondent
6 mins
  -> the antonyms in E&W are really: (injunction) applicant vs. respondent & (trial) claimant vs. defendant. Petitioner is used in family and insolvency petition contexts.
agree  Reinhold Wehrmann

  -> False.
agree  Peter Manda (X): not only "US" - general international practice. "Claimant/Respondent" is very rarely used ... (well, maybe, in the UK, but that's rare enough)
