\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Excerpt from Bryan A. Garner’s Garner\u2019s Dictionary of Legal Usage<\/em><\/a> (3d ed. 2011):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cSeveral dictionaries, such as The Random House College Dictionary (rev. ed. 1995) and Webster\u2019s New World Dictionary (4th ed. 2007), define obligee in its etymological sense [\u2018obliged\u2019], as if it were synonymous with obligor. Random House, for example, defines obligee as \u2018a person who is obligated to another,\u2019 but that meaning ought to be reserved for obligor. An obligee, in modern usage, is one to whom an obligation is owed.<\/span>\u201d<\/strong> [4]<\/span><\/p>\n
