French term

Pour conclusions

French to English Law/Patents Law (general) Litigation (France)
This phrase appears on its own at the very end of a civil claim for medical negligence and below it follows "sous toutes réserves" (which I generally translate as "all rights and remedies reserved"). On a final separate page there is list of documents submitted as evidence.

I know there is a previous Kudoz but I'm not too happy with the suggestions. If you are familiar with this phrase your suggestion would be appreciated. My own inclination is something along the lines of "submitted as a pleading".

Discussion

Daryo Jun 16, 2020:
"pour conclusions" added at the end means that the whole document is to be considered as "les conclusions" [according to the legal definition of what is "Conclusions d'avocat" see ref.]

"sous toutes réserves" is a completely separate / distinct element of the text, whatever said those trying lucky guesses in previous Proz questions ... And gave an example of how to turn a perfectly good reference

into a nonsense translation.

Signed off as a pleading /E&W: Settled and submitted as a Statement of Case/

It is always good, even for those of us who have been 'instructed to *settle, sign and date in chambers* pleadings' for London High Court consumption, to revisit translations past and present.

Note that, in French, 'regularising' - amendment and finalising - of the conclusions can take place in court itself.
Example sentence:

But the drawing and settlement of pleadings occurs coram non judice and the court ordinarily plays no supervisory role in the production of the issue

Thanks, this seems sensible

This can be the pleadings of the claim
The findings of the claim
Or the submissions of the claim

For findings or conclusions

To define conclusions within a legally judiciary setting 'findings' is another possibility.
Example sentence:

with all proper reserves, for conclusions or findings

sous toutes réserves, pour conclusions

Note from asker:
Thank you Lisa, but I already know what each word in isolation means. I am looking for a translation of this term, used at the end of a summons.

Submitted as pleadings

We've had this a couple of times before, and this answer seems good to me.

neutral Daryo : je serais tenté d'imaginer qu'il existe des sources légèrement plus fiables qu'un mélange désordonné de réponses en connaissance de cause et de tâtonnements dans le noir le plus complet ...

agree Adrian MM. : 'signed off as' - now Statement of Case in E&W cf. the recent query of /bon/ pour communication confiorme. Yours Truly, Kirsty MacC in a previous incarnation or 'iteration'.

Yes, that was a good answer, so you can ignore Daryo's sneering.

Conclusions d'avocat : Définition juridique

Définition : les conclusions d'avocat

Les conclusions, en procédure civile, désignent les échanges écrits qui interviennent entre les avocats des parties à l'occasion d'une procédure judiciaire. Il s'agit du contenant - le document papier ou sous format électronique - mais aussi du contenu - le texte rédigé par l'avocat.

Les conclusions détaillent l'ensemble de la stratégie argumentaire de l'avocat, destinée à défendre les intérêts de son client. Elles sont structurées comme suit :

- L'exposé des faits : l'avocat rappelle les circonstances de l'espèce. Il s'agit de présenter la situation de manière objective. Cela permet de resituer le contexte, pour informer le juge mais aussi pour consigner par écrit les détails de l'affaire.

- Les motifs : il s'agit lors de cette étape de convaincre le juge. L'avocat, à l'appui de ses prétentions, cite les articles de loi ainsi que la jurisprudence, le cas échéant. Ces moyens de droit peuvent être corroborés par des moyens de fait.

- Les prétentions : l'avocat termine ses conclusions en détaillant les prétentions de son client. Concrètement, il s'agit de chiffrer le montant des dommages et intérêts, de solliciter l'exécution forcée d'une obligation... C'est également l'occasion de demander au juge de mettre le remboursement des frais de procédure à la charge de l'adversaire.

Les conclusions servent de référence tant pour le juge que pour l'avocat.

- Le juge se base sur ces documents écrits pour prendre sa décision et rendre son jugement.

- Les avocats consultent les conclusions échangées au fur et à mesure de la procédure pour adapter leur ligne de défense, et contrer les arguments de leur adversaire.

Thank you Daryo but I already know the French term for written submissions. My problem is with this specific phrase at the end of a statement of case/civil summons

neutral Adrian MM. : Utterly inconclusive for an English translation of, for example, pleadings vs. Statement of Case.
