Dutch term or phrase: in se
In a letter:
"dat overigens melding wordt gemaakt van een verzekering is in se een materie tussen de onderzoeker en de sponsor."

Could anyone confirm what 'in se' means here please?

Many thanks

in fact


Explanation:
'In fact' lijkt me een betere vertaling wanneer je ervan uitgaat dat 'in se' dezelfde lading heeft als 'in wezen'.
