agree  Bryan Crumpler: Doesn't seem to me, though, that "akte na comparitie" is a standalone concept, but rather "blijkt uit de akte[,] after xxx's appearance [before the court]".

record of entry of appearance (acknowledgement of service)


Explanation:
I have studied the above comments but see the phrase does Google as a standalone term.

Entry of appearance, as in other lingos, could equate with the formal step previously taken by a Defendant in the English High Court to acknowledge service e.g of a writ of summons.





Example sentence(s):
  • akte na comparitie van partijen aan de zijde van [eiser], met producties; - akte na tussenvonnis aan de zijde van [gedaagden], met producties

Reference: comparitie

Reference information:
I think Frank's right on the money, but the parsing of the sentence is where there might be confusion.

We have: "blah blah blah hetgeen blijkt uit de akte na comparitie van xxx zijde".

As I mentioned, I don't think "akte na comparitie" is a standalone concept. Rather, I think "hetgeen blijkt uit de akte" is parenthetical, while "na comparitie van xxx zijde" clarifies when xxx actually appeared, or literally "after appearance from xxx's side"... or more idiomatically expressed: "after xxx's appearance [before the court]"


As for comparitie:

There are multiple options for "comparitie", and I'm not certain which is intended here, since it could mean various things.

Wiki says this:

"In veel rechtszaken wordt als onderdeel van de procedure een speciale rechtszitting gehouden, een comparitie (comparitie = vergelijking). De bedoeling daarvan is meer inlichtingen over de zaak te verkrijgen of te proberen de partijen tot een vergelijk te laten komen. De partijen kunnen dan onder leiding van de rechter of bijvoorbeeld tijdens een schorsing van de zitting proberen tot een schikking te komen."

In this context it seems like pre-trial proceedings - "discovery", if you will; but the Dutch litigation system does not have a "discovery" phase as we do in the US for example. But in both cases, there is a part of every court "hearing" (comparitie) in which case the defendant may have an opportunity to discuss his case or defense with the solicitor before entering a plea or discussing with the complainant / plaintiff to reach a settlement without actually wasting trial time.

In Belgium, they usually just send parties out of the court room to work things out on their own for a last time, then they come back to appear and the Judge issues his/her ruling to the clerk based on what was agreed. Saves time for the court to concentrate on more involved cases. I only know about this because I've done it.

In these latter 2 cases it's just "comparitie van partijen" (appearance of the parties to reach a settlement, aka "schikkingscomparitie"), the first step in a "dagvaarding" or summons to appear.

But your context mentions an "akte", which leads me to believe there had been some exchange of documents or some information or evidence or proof is being explained or presented (which hints that "comparitie" might mean pre-trial review, or discovery). But if that is the case then "van xxx zijde" wouldn't be there... so I'm dismissing that logic.

That leaves you with the following options:

appearance [before the court]
hearing
pre-trial review
pre-trial discovery
discovery
