indictement Explanation: An indictement is only an accusation, it is the physical means by which a defendant is brought to trial, its sole purpose is to identify defendant's alleged offense, and it is not evidence that offense charged was committed and may not be considered as evidence by a jury during its deliberations (Black's Law Dictionary). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-07 18:39:59 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- VERENIGING VAN VLAAMSE BALIES VOORSTEL VAN DE VERENIGING VAN VLAAMSE BALIES TOT WIJZIGING VAN HET GERECHTELIJK WETBOEK Teneinde de procedure m.b.t. de instaatstelling te vereenvoudigen See: http://216.239.53.104/search?q=cache:YZBRUs7HEdsJ:www.advoca... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-07 19:54:42 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, I see what you mean.

2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1preparation of the conclusions/arguments for submission to the court Explanation: a bit of a guess, but what I see in context. This seems to be done by the lawyers and they aren't the ones who indict. Seems they are presenting their conclusions to the court to enable it to start the proceedings. Er mag geen te groot tijdsverloop zijn tussen de termijnen voor het maken van conclusies (de zgn. instaatstelling) en de datum waarop de zaak wordt gepleit. Indien er, omwille van allerhande organisatorische problemen eigen aan de rechtbank, geen mogelijkheid bestaat om op korte termijn een pleitdatum te verlenen, moeten de termijnen om conclusies te nemen aan deze realiteit worden aangepast Die zgn. "actieve rechter" zou de advocaten kunnen verplichten om binnen een bepaalde termijn hun schriftelijke argumentatie (conclusies) aan de rechtbank kenbaar te maken. Door in te grijpen in deze fase van de procedure het stadium van de zgn. instaatstelling wordt echter niets gedaan aan de gerechtelijke achterstand http://www.google.be/search?q=cache:TsxHavus7doJ:www.advocaa...

does this help? Explanation: Black’s Law Dictionary: Indictment 1. The formal written accusation of a crime, made by a grand jury and presented to a court for prosecution against the accused person. 2. The act or process of preparing or bringing forward such a formal written accusation. Specifically defined types: Barebones indictment: An indictment that cites only the language of the statue allegedly violated; an indictment that does not provide a factual statement. Duplicitous indictment: The joining of two or more offenses in the same count of an indictment. Join indictment: An indictment that charges two or more people with an offense. My Roget’s Thesaurus: Indict, v. charge, accuse, arraign (accusation). Perhaps this will assist in finding a compass direction. |

complaint, charge? Explanation: You mention 'crimes' in your note, however, I believe instaatstelling is a civil law term. In civil cases, the 'complaint' is made in a written document known as the 'statement of complaint' -> "Volgens deze methode kan men zich al een beter idee vormen omtrent het procesverloop in burgerlijke zaken, met deze correctie dat in burgerlijke zaken de wachttijd tussen de ‘instaatstelling’ van de zaak door de partijen tot de behandeling ter zitting de enige relevante is." http://www.cass.be/beroep/antwerpen/zetel/werking/activiteit... Fwiw, the document cited below provides the French for 'instaatstelling van een zaak' as 'mise en état d'une cause', and Eurodciautom then offers the following translation: 'preparation of a case for the Court'. -> "... die opgaat in een bredere kamer gelast met het in staat stellen van de zaken (chambre de la mise en état)" (p. 17) http://www.law.kuleuven.ac.be/pubrecht/gerecht/ONDERWIJS/CS2... |

allocation Explanation: Writeaway's answer and the French entry in Eurodic which I came across lead me to think that the instaatstelling is the initial administrative process by which the case is taken on by the court. In England & Wales, this process is known as the 'allocation', which means that the court decides how to proceed with the case. -> "If the claim is not settled, a judge must allocate it to an appropriate case management track. To help the judge choose the most just and cost-effective track, you must now complete the attached questionnaire. If you fail to return the allocation questionnaire by the date given, the judge may make an order which leads to your claim or defence being struck out, or hold an allocation hearing." http://www.courtservice.gov.uk/cms/media/n150.pdf -> "If you have made a claim in the county court and the trader (defendant) has sent (entered) a defence, you will be sent a copy. Both you and the defendant will be sent an allocation questionnaire to enable a judge to decide which track (type of court procedure) is most appropriate for your case." http://www.eej-net.org.uk/UKprocess/Factsheets/Sample_letter... |
