One bringing a matter to court (9)

I believe the answer is:

plaintiff

(Other definitions for plaintiff that I've seen before include "Person bringing a case against another" , "Temporary disappearances of a heavenly body" , "Person bringing a civil action in a court of law" , "Complainant" , "Person who brings a legal action" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
