Law/Patents - Law (general) / submissions | | French term or phrase: ordonner tous autres devoirs de droit | I wonder if anyone knows if there is a usual way of translating this phrase, which seems to be fairly common documents relating to hearings. I have some idea of what it means: something like 'take all (necessary/relevant) legal recourse/action', but wondered if there is a better way of saying it. Here's how it appears in this particular case:
Ordonner tous autres devoirs de droit,
Dire que l'expert pourra s'entourer dans l'accomplissement de sa mission d tous renseignements utiles et necessiares et meme entendre de tierces personnes;
Dire que l'expert sera dispense de la prestation de serment;
Thanks in anticipation for any helpful suggestions. |

Actually "undertake" could also be "prescribe" but I still prefer the answer above. |
