Law/Patents - Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright / First Amended Complaint | | English term or phrase: to pray for judgement | "WHEREFORE, XXX(company name) prays for judgment against Defendants as follows:"
Last part of a complaint. "pray for" in this context could not really be "beten"?
I would take "bitten" but did'nt find a positive reference anywhere.
thanks for helping :) |

The prayer follows the pleadings in US English court proceedings, filings, etc.
It is a request. You request something from the court d.h. im Deutschen einen Antrag stellen. Die Reihenfolge ist nur anders im Deutschen (Klageantrag = Teil der Klageschrift).
