the Applicant or an applicant?
Hi! everyone.
Could you tell me why was not "an applicant" used in the definition below instead of "the"?
The prerogative writs are a means by which the Crown, acting through its courts, effects control over inferior courts or public authorities throughout the kingdom. The writs are issued in the name of the Crown, who is the nominal plaintiff, on behalf of the applicant.
Thanks!
