 NEXT FRIEND - LoveToKnow Article on NEXT FRIEND
Previous to the Married Womens Property Act 1882 it was also usual for a married woman to sue by a next friend, but that act, allowing a married woman to sue in all respects as a feme sole, has rendered a next friend unnecessary in her case.
In the case of an infant the father is prima facie the proper person to act as next friend; in the fathers absence the testamentaryguardian if any; but any person not under disability may act as next friend so long as he has no interest in the action adverse to that of the infant.
This disability arises from infancy or mental incapacity, consequently every application to the court on behalf of an infant or a lunatic must be made through a next friend (prochein amy, proximus amicus).

 Court of Appeal McKenzie Friend (P4P Wales)
It is not good practice to exclude the proposed McKenzie friend from the courtroom or chambers whilst the application by the litigant in person for his assistance is being made, as the litigant is likely to need the assistance of such a friend to make the application in the first place.
Where a litigant in person wishes to have the assistance of a McKenzie friend in private family law proceedings relating to children, the sooner that intention is made known to the court and the sooner the court's agreement is obtained, the better, and it is preferable if the same McKenzie friend appears throughout.
At the same time, however, the McKenzie friend must appreciate that disclosure is being made for the purpose of enabling the litigant in person effectively to present his case and thus to ensure a fair hearing.

A child who avoids meaningful interaction with other kids, preferring to play exclusively with an invented friend, may be experiencing psychological distress.

A friend declaration is essentially a prototype for a member function, but instead of requiring an implementation with the name of that class attached by the double colon syntax, a global function or member function of another class provides the match.
Friend functions allow binary operators to be defined which combine private data in a pair of objects.
In either case they can be set to be friends of other classes, by using a friend specifier in the class that is admitting them.
