R/H seat P1 legal or not?

When joining a group, or becoming familiar with a new aircraft, it's common practice to get up-to-speed with an experienced pilot in the r/h seat who's not an instructor.

Taking the UK, and either a Group A or Permit a/c, and assuming both pilots have relevant licences, is it legal to operate as P1 from the r/h seat to give the l/h seat occupant operating experience?

I've had several cases where the insurance aspect is considered a 'grey area' (from the insurance broker, having been asked for advice).

One factor is whether the a/c is fully operable from the r/h seat, I assume.

But is this sort of operation defined anywhere?

Obviously only one pilot will be logging the hours, and in this particular case, it will P1 in the r/h seat
