Notes to answerer
Asker: Ken: I haven't summarised the wording - I've given the phrase "bevel tot dagvaarding" and the context that follows it.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Erik Boers: Writ of summons is dagvaarding. I think in this case bailiffs and prison directors are ordered to serve a writ on certain persons to appear in court. Or doesn't that make sense?//Indeed. IMHO writ of summons is dagvaarding, not bevel tot dagvaarding.

  -> I thought the question was to translate the heading, not the text that follows.
neutral  Ken Cox: Now what's a poor peer to do when the asker neatly summarises the wording and thereby alters the meaning?
