Law/Patents - Law (general) / Statement of defence
German term or phrase: aktenwidrig
Can't find this in any dictionary, not even Duden (although the word does exist, as google tells me).

Does it mean "contrary to formal requirements" or something similar?

Thanks for any help!

Since "contrary to the record" means konträr oder im Gegensatz zu der Akte, habe ich eine zugegebenermaßen wortreiche Übersetzung gewählt, die m.E. die Bedeutung des Wortes zwar etwas genauer erkennen lässt, doch leider keine 100%ige Entsprechung ist. Aber vielleicht meldet sich noch ein beschlagener Peer zu Wort.
