A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, a “party-opponent” refers to a party in a legal proceeding who is adverse or opposed to another party in the same proceeding. This term is commonly used in litigation to distinguish between the parties involved in a case, with the party-opponent being the opposing party to the one making the reference.
Example: The attorney cross-examined the witness on behalf of the party-opponent in the case.
