recoveree

1. (law, historical) The person against whom a judgement is obtained in common recovery.Examples: "As already indicated elsewhere (vide ante, c. ix.), a recovery was only, even if real and adverse, effective as against the party — the recoveree and his heirs and legal representatives — that is, those "privy" to him in estate."; "In all recoveries it is necessary that the recoveree, or tenant to the præcipe, as he is usually called, be actually seised of the freehold, else the recovery is void."; "For it was thought, that upon suffering the recovery or levying the fine, the use ressulted to the recoveree or conuzor, which resulting use the statute immediately executed: so that the use being once vested and executed by the statute, it could not be divested by any subsequent declaration."historical

2. (military) Someone who has been rescued by a combat operation.Examples: "It was decided that all recoverees should be screened by the medical staff of USAHS Marigold, anchored in Yokohama harbor."; "Only a few officers were told that the recoverees would be POWs."; "He also understood the implication that the recoverees might still have mixed allegiance."
