peer agreement (net): +1

for the (crim.) prosecution/(civ,) claimant and for the (crim.) defence/(civ.) defendant

Explanation:
As Simon quotes the temoin context: witness for either side.

If Mr C is an ins. claim assessor or appraiser etc., he's examined - as an independent expert - the fire for both sides, the ins. co., no doubt disputing the claim, and for the policyholder, maybe litigating the ins. claim.

So is there 1. litigation over this ins. claim; if so is it 2) crim. or civ.?
