client

This is how an attorney refers to his client or how a client is referred to in a client-attorney relationship. Here is an example:

http://www.geocities.com/for_dem_lib/arabdoc69.htm

و الملاحظ أن المتهم عبد اللطيف بوحجيلة تعذر استنطاقه للحالة الصحية المتدهورة التي كان عليها بعد إجراء عملية جراحية على إحدى كليتيه لاستئصال ورم بها فقد أجاب عند سؤاله من طرف المحكمة حول ما هو منسوب إليه من تهم " مانيش مستوعب شيء من اللي يدور حولي " و كانت الآلام تعاوده من حين إلى آخر فطلب لسان الدفاع مزيد التأخير إلى حين يتعافى المنوب من مرضه

In this case, the named defendant is the cleint of the attorney referred to as لسان الدفاع

the afflicted or inflicted

at the start of the paragraph the person is pointed to as the accused so how can he be الموكل towards the end of the paragraph?
نوب nauba- in arabic also means to afflict, or befall someone of misfortune. in other words it is the same as the other Arabic word- المنكوب - remember the accused is sick with cancer!
