In West\'s Legal Dictionary, he translates \"parágrafo\" as \"additinal clause\" and specifies this use in Colombia, Panama and Venezuela. In addition, there are other sources that give the answer I suggested. However, the notion is that it is \"additional\" and either a \"clause\" or \"article of law.\"

Point of Law


Explanation:
From the content in the document I am translating. For example: "Se excluye de la cláusula compromisoria la acción ejecutiva con la que se pretenda exigir el cumplimiento de las obligaciones derivadas del presente contrato."
In my experience these paragraphs always deal with a point of law.
