Selected answer:mistranslation?
Explanation:
'Testified' doesn't fit here. If this is a translation and you know the source language, I'd suggest reverse translating 'testified' and trying to figure out what the proper translation should be (maybe 'associated with' or 'affiliated with').

typos? missing words?


Explanation:
"The provisions of Art. xx apply regardless of any liability On the part of the other party OR of a third party ALIGNED with such party."

Just a guess, but it makes some sense when written this way. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense

agree  Ken Cox: Definitely 'on the part of' and 'or of'. One can only guess what 'testified with' is supposed to mean.

  -> That's the 65 thousand dollar question. I am assuming that this is a translation. I tried to find an appropriate synonym. Thanks Kenneth.

agree  Robert Donahue (X): The who theory could work too. Still need to change "in" to "on" and stick an "or" in front of "of" though, no?
