Dutch term or phrase: acht verweerder niet steekhoudend
De stelling van X dat geen gevaar voor herhaling bestaat omdat hij niet meer in de telecommunicatiebranche werkt, **acht verweerder niet steekhoudend**, aangezien valsheid in geschrift los staat van het soort bedrijf waarin de dader werkzaam was, en derhalve in iedere bedrijfstak kan worden gepleegd.

Party X is challenging a government decision not to grant a declaration of no objection for starting a new company.
