GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Law/Patents - Law (general) / Freezing Injunction
German term or phrase: allgemeine Umschreibung
I take it "Umschreibung" here means transfer, and hence the above means "general transfer" but am struggling to understand what this actually involves. Can anyone help please?

"Im Übrigen ist die Freezing Injunction konform zur bundesgerichtlichen Rechtsprechung (129 III 626) genügend bestimmt, indem sie die Konti des Be­klagten bei der UBS mit Kontonummern aufführt (....) bzw im Entscheid vom 29 Ja­nuar 2009 erklärt wird, dass der Beklagte über sein Konto bzw Depot (...) samt Subkonti nur insoweit verfügen darf, dass der Wert nicht unter jenem von £ 750'000 - sinken dürfe Aber auch soweit es andere, nicht spezifi­zierte Vermögenswerte betrifft, genügt die allgemeine Umschreibung, da keine si­chernde Massnahmen im Sinne von Art 39 Abs 2 LugÜ verlangt werden."

general provisions
Explanation:
I think this refers back to the general description provided in the legal document governing the case at hand. These would more often be titled "general provisions" in a text of law. (Here the "general provisions" suffice with regard to "unspecified assets").

Allgemeine Umschreibung
general specification


Explanation:
It’s NOT transfer, they talk about the degree of detail. “Umschreibung”, as in “Beschreibung”.

agree  Alexander Schleber (X): Umschreibung refers back to the provisions of the "bundesgerichtlichen Rechtsprechung ". "general descirption" or "general provisons" might also serve.

  -> Thanks Alexander. My first idea was "general description" – don’t know why I went with "specification".
agree  Adrian MM. (X): refers back to a gen. description of the 'unspecifed assets' : not the Rechtsprechung/case law.

Allgemeine Umschreibung
general description


Explanation:
I prefer "description" over "specification" for "Umschreibung", but perhaps I'm splitting hairs.
