Adverse
Adverse or adverse interest, in law, is anything that functions contrary to a party's interest.
This word should not be confused with averse.
The most common use of the term is "an interest, claim , or right that is against another’s interest." This occurs not only in the law; examples also pop up in accounting.
Furthermore, an adverse interest is an exception to agency law.
The law regarding this exception is narrowly defined, so a judge will instruct a trial jury on the specific law.
A second use of the phrase is when some "witness with adverse interest means the witness is hostile. A hostile witness wants different results of the lawsuit than the party who calls them."
