Law/Patents - Law (general) / forensic report | | Dutch term or phrase: bewijsbestemming | "Sinds 1957 worden onder geschriften met *bewijsbestemming* echter alle geschriften begrepen ‘waaraan in het maatschappelijk verkeer betekenis voor het bewijs van enig feit pleegt te worden toegekend’."
This above definition for this term is found in a forensic report I'm currently working on. We're inclined to believe that "evidential importance" would be a suitable translation for "bewijsbestemming," but would appreciate some feedback from esteemed colleagues. TIA for your assistance. Cheers, R. |
