chargee

"The person on whom a charge is levied", i.e. one who gets the bill for something. It sounds plausible, but in fact this seems to have some other specific legal meaning: somebody who is granted a charge by a chargor (whatever that is). Equinox ◑ 12:33, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

The website law.academic.ru has an archived copy of the definition of chargor in Practical Law Dictionary. Glossary of UK, US and international legal terms – no longer online in the same form – to wit, “chargor — A company or person who grants a charge or right in security in favour of some other person or company known as a chargee.” It this case the sense of “charge” is an instrument of security, e.g. a debenture, and the chargee is the holder (beneficiary) of the charge. Next to this very specific sense, I think the term can be used for anyone who has been charged with anything in any sense, like here someone who was charged with repayment (fitting the sense in our entry), or (as seen in the second definition here) someone who has been charged with a crime.  --Lambiam 14:48, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

cited. In addition to the two types of being charged Lambiam mentioned, I found a quote for a third, which is one who is charged to do something. Kiwima (talk) 20:50, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
