Appeals Procedure
In the verdict of the Cyprus Supreme Court that I am dealing with, the appellants are referred to as this, and the other side are referred to as Εφεσίβλητοι-Ενάγοντες. I don't know whether in an equivalent appeal in the English courts we would talk about Appellants-Defendants and then Appellees-Plaintiffs, or something quite different.

appelants-defendants
If you google it, you will see that this is a valid way of expressing the situation in English as well,
it is used very often in US case law - I don't see why it would be wrong to use it when the appelant (case tried in the second degree) is the defendant of the case tried in the first degree.
It simply lets everyone know who the appelant is, is it the defendant or the plaintiff of the case in the first degree? And this is very important to know...

: I don't know this legal stuff, hence my neutral response, but I do know that appellant is spelled as Julian has it, with a double l, not a single one.

appellants (= the plaintiff) - defendant (= ο καθ ου, ή εναγόμενοσ)
ο εναγόμενος στα αγγλικά μπορεί να είναι plaintiff (in civil law), a petitioner ( in a divorce case ) and the prosecuting party ( in criminal law).
