Law/Patents - Law (general) | | French term or phrase: (débouter qqn. de ses) demandes, fins et conclusions | A common enough legal phrase it seems. The 'débouter' part means to 'dismiss', and is well covered in the glossaries, but I'm looking for the best way to phrase 'demandes, fins et conclusions'.

| | | (to dismiss his/their) actions, claims (for damages) and arguments | Explanation:
In a legal context, 'fins' means claims (for damages) and 'demandes' means actions.
Definition of 'conclusions' (Grand dictionnaire terminologique on-line):
Acte de procédure par lequel le demandeur expose ses chefs de demande, le défendeur ses moyens de défense. C'est par le dépôt des conclusions que le débat est lié. Le juge a l'obligation de répondre à tous les chefs des conclusions.
