Law/Patents - Law (general) / Trial record
Spanish term or phrase: R.C.D / R.C.S.
Heading of a trial record. It's a list:

Magistrado juez:
Fiscal:
Abogados:
- Acusación particular D/Dña:
- Defensa D/Dña:
- R.C.D. D/Dña:
- R.C.S. D/Dña:

Maybe I should ask a question for each term but I think they are very related and it might help work out the meaning...
Thank you in advance

English translation:primarily liable party / secondarily liable party (under civil law)
Explanation:
RCD = responsable civil directo, and RCS = responsable civil subsidiaria
Responsable civil directo en el proceso penal
El primer responsable civil directo es el propio acusado en su condición de autor o partícipe en el delito
Responsable civil subsidiario en el proceso penal
Es aquella persona que siendo también ajeno al hecho punible, va a responder en defecto del autor de las consecuencias de naturaleza patrimonial derivadas del delito.

What is primary liable and secondary liable?
Primary liability refers to an obligation for which a party is directly responsible. Secondary liability, on the other hand, refers to an obligation that is the responsibility of another party if the party that is directly responsible fails to satisfy the obligation.

I've seen "vicarious" suggested, but most examples I've found are to do with insurance companies, so maybe it depends on context.
