Doe John is often used when filing a lawsuit against an unknown defendant, such as in cases where the plaintiff may have been harmed by an unidentified person or if the identity of the alleged wrongdoer is not yet known. It allows the legal process to move forward without delay, as the plaintiff can initiate the lawsuit and serve the necessary legal documents without knowing the actual identity of the defendant.
In certain circumstances, the use of "Doe John" may vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific legal requirements. In some cases, different variations, such as "Doe Jane" or "Doe 1," may also be used to refer to unidentified female individuals or additional anonymous parties in a lawsuit or legal proceeding.
