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 | Flag
As 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 | Flag
Here'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 | Flag
Well, 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.
