If what you asked was whether "preferred" is correct here, I say it is. The -ed form of any vt. such as "prefer" can be as like adj. e.g. "a well-publicized campaign", "a polished story", etc.

If what you asked was  whether "litigant have a preferred staus" is correct, yes it is. It means that each litigant has one status. For example, three of us have a car.
