Law/Patents - International Org/Dev/Coop / Mercantile Law/Commercial Law
Afrikaans term or phrase: betaalreg
The following appears in a thesis on "Lex Mercatoria", or mercantile law ("koopreg" or "handelsreg" in Afriakans) I am looking for a translation for "betaalreg", which I can't find in Pharos or even online:

("UNCITRAL (United Nations Commission on International Trade Law) was launched in 1966 with the purpose of promoting progressive harmonisation and unification of international trade.

Dit was ‘n reuse stap in die rigting van die skep van die nuwe lex mercatoria (merchants'/mercantile law) Tydens die eerste vergaderings wat gehou is na die stigting van UNCITRAL gehou is, is besluit dat veral op internasionale koopreg, internasionale betaalreg, internasionale arbitrasie en internasionale skeepvaartreg gekonsentreer sal word."

neutral  Kas Smit: Neither of the two terms appears in the legal dictionary. I could agree with Wessel's suggestion as an umbrella term for the two Afrikaans terms. I would suggest that you lodge your enquiry on ZaLang.
