Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s) / construction contract | | Dutch term or phrase: Dit tevens ten behoeve van | In a Dutch (NL) contractual agreement:
Opdrachtnemer zal tijdens het project zorgdragen voor een afdoende informatievoorziening richting opdrachtgever. Met name zal adequate verslaglegging van de voortgangsvergaderingen plaatsvinden, alsmede zal in de uitvoeringsfase eveneens verslag worden gedaan in de vorm van termijnstaten. Dit tevens ten behoeve van de betalingstermijnen.
I don't know if this is just common contractual shorthand or telegraphic style. Does 'Dit tevens ten behoeve...' mean 'this (is) likewise for the purpose of...'? |
