Corroborating witness

Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-001335

An individual who provides testimony that supports or confirms the statements or claims made by another witness or party in a legal proceeding.

The presence of a corroborating witness can significantly strengthen a case by reducing doubts about the primary evidence.
