Conductor not getting involved in dispute (7)
I believe the answer is:
neutral
'conductor' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for neutral that I've seen before include "On the fence" , "'Neither good nor evil, nor right nor wrong (7)'" , "Indifferent; not in gear" , "nondescript colour" , "Lacking a preference" .)
