céans literally means 'here in house' Explanation: hence 'local law-court' or 'local tribunal' - colloquial (sometimes): 'local bench' Found this in one of my dictionaries. |

this Tribunal Explanation: Stéphanie, I found this on the UN page. I am giving you the reference for both the English and the French UN page. In the French one you'll find it as "tribunal de céans", while in the English you'll see it as "this Tribunal".

this court / the present court ... Explanation: and all the related formal phrases ("this Honorable Court," etc). "ceans" is a contraction of "ce dedans" (literally, "here within"), and is an archaic formula used only in the field of law. So, your phrase would be "...the geographic jurisdiction of the present (Honorable) Court..." Cheers, HC |
