- Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
- Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.
When a person summoned as trustee neglects to appear and answer to the action, the trustee must be defaulted and adjudged trustee to the extent that such a person holds goods, effects or credits of the principal defendant otherwise available to satisfy the unsatisfied portion of final judgment. Nothing in this section limits the additional remedies available under this chapter for the trustee’s failure to disclose, including the assessment of costs under section 2701 or, in a proper case, contempt.
