What is an anonymous party of indeterminate gender called in a legal case? Equinox ◑ 21:56, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I suspect a party of undetermined gender would be assumed to be male, in much the same way laws historically only spoke of "if a person does [X], he shall be sentenced to [Y]". - -sche (discuss) 19:34, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

More legal placeholder names

These legal placeholder names come from Webster 1913 and are older, or obsolete: John-a-Nokes, John o' the Nokes, John of the Nokes (or forms with Noakes), John-a-Stiles. Equinox ◑ 17:36, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
