7/21/2011 8:39:25 AM An attorney is referring to someone who is charged with contempt in a family law matter as the "citee" phonetically, but I can't find that word anywhere. |

I imagine it's in reference to the person being cited, the citee? Never heard it used, and I can't think of any better way to write it, if it's not in the dictionary. |

This is what I thought also. Strange though that I cannot find it in a dictionary or law dictionary or online anywhere. - dlrarabbit 7/22/2011 7:25:26 AM | Flag |

I looked up "cite" in a French dictionary, and the equivalent words in French are citer or assigner. A Google search produced a few choices such as CITEE, an international organization, Citee as a surname, a Friench social networking group and tee shirts. Concerning this attorney, "sic" him. |

Pardon my Friench as I meant French social networking group. - pinksteno 7/21/2011 8:13:54 PM | FlagAs I went through the transcript, the judge also used the same term. Really don't want to (sic) the attorney and the judge. Bothering me that I can't find it! - dlrarabbit 7/22/2011 9:31:32 AM | FlagHere's an idea. If you can speak with the Judge's law clerk, inquire about this word. - pinksteno 7/22/2011 6:17:31 PM | FlagWell, I kept searching and actually found a reference to citee on a California family law form regarding contempt. Referred to the person being accused of contempt as the citee. Thanks to those of you that responded. We all learned something today...;0) - dlrarabbit 7/22/2011 6:47:33 PM | Flag |

It's kind of fun watching attorneys make nouns out of verbs, and vice versa, and then look at me with that "It's a word, ain't it" face, knowing full well I'm going to "sic" them (but only after making sure they didn't get lucky). Smile out there :)))) |

of course citee is a word. it refers to the person who is/was being cited. check your Blacks Law Dictionary |

Black's is the first place I checked after I couldn't find it on the Internet anywhere. It was not there! - dlrarabbit 7/27/2011 11:30:12 AM | Flag |

i am stunned that the word citee is not on all the search engines. however I was able to find it at: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/ComplianceManuals/RegulatoryProceduresManual/ucm179275.htm it states (down the list a bit) : CITEE: One who is cited. See also Section 305 Meeting.
interesting that this word is not listed in more places!! but the FDA has a definition. |
