Law/Patents - Law (general) / Interrogatory
English term or phrase: by way of further answer
It is denied that plaintiff suffered any damages. By way of further answer, plaintiff's damages were caused by plaintiff's own negligence in failing to act reasonable and to exercise care commensurate with the circumstances. By way of further answer, to be determined through ongoing investigation and discovery.
By way of further answer, answering defendants reserve the right to rely on all documents produced in discovery and plaintiff's medical records and narrative reports for this and any and all other accidents, injuries and conditions.

"By way of further answer" this phrase appears in most of the answers to the interrogatory, is there any standard and elegant phrase to translate it?

a modo de respuesta adicional
Explanation:
Further = more information, in addition to the initial response

"a modo de respuesta por la actuación de la Benemérita. ..." www.abc.es/20080103/sociedad-sociedad/inmigrantes-responden...

The expression "by way of" is a formal turn of phrase and slightly tautologous: we could simply say "como respuesta adicional..."
