Explanation
คู่ความ is a formal legal noun. It refers to the parties who stand on either side of a court case, such as the plaintiff and defendant, including authorized representatives in legal contexts. It does not mean a partner, pair, or opponent in everyday situations.
Usage
It is used in court proceedings, legal documents, lawyer consultations, judgments, and legal news. It commonly appears with words such as คดี “case,” ศาล “court,” ไกล่เกลี่ย “mediate,” and ตกลงกัน “reach an agreement.”
Caution
Do not use คู่ความ for every opposing side in an everyday dispute. If the matter is not a court case or lawsuit, คู่กรณี is often the more natural word.
