A quick definition of umpire:

Term: UMPIRE

Definition: An umpire is a person who is chosen to make a final decision when two or more people cannot agree. They are fair and do not take sides. Sometimes, they are chosen when arbitrators cannot come to a decision. In Scottish law, they are called oversman.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An umpire is a person who is appointed to make a final decision when arbitrators cannot agree. They are impartial and make a decision based on the facts presented to them.

Example: In a baseball game, the umpire is responsible for making calls on the field, such as whether a pitch is a ball or a strike, or whether a player is safe or out. They make these decisions based on the rules of the game and what they see happening on the field.

Example: In a legal dispute, if the arbitrators cannot agree on a decision, an umpire may be appointed to make the final decision. The umpire will review the evidence presented and make a decision based on what they believe is fair and just.

These examples illustrate how an umpire is an impartial person who is responsible for making a final decision when others cannot agree. They are an important part of ensuring fairness and justice in various situations.
