Dutch term or phrase:comparitie
"In geval X zal de rechtbank ter comparitie niet aan een inhoudelijke behandeling kunnen toekomen. Als partijen er in onderling overleg de voorkeur aan geven dat de rechtbank direct uitspraak doet zonder dat eerst de comparitie plaats vindt, dienen zij dat binnen Y weken na de datum van dit vonnis aan de griffie te berichten."
The entry for this under Wikiwords is "pre-trial review," yet when I back translate this in Van den End, "regiezitting" is given. Can anyone confirm this solution as being accurate or come up with something more appropriate? TIA. Cheers, R.
Explanation: The Court, in fact, informs that the matter cannot be thoroughly discussed when the parties appear before the Court. They can, however, by mutual agreement, indicate to the Court that it can proceed with giving a ruling without the parties' appearance taking place.

This will do nicely, Albert, thank you. Re 'pre-trial review,' I've reviewed various definitions and am not convinced that it's the best (or only) solution. Cheers, R. 3 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
it's where parties are ordered to personally appear before court at a hearing in order to a) reach a settlement and/or b) provide further information (sometimes even after the statement of defence). HTH
Is reference made close to this in the text at all to article 87, 88 or 131 of the Dutch Civil Procedure Code (Rv)? These are forms of hearings or personal appearances but reference to an article will make it easier
determine which one.
