peer agreement (net): +1draft writ of summons Explanation: A "projet" can be a draft. The text is referring to some preparatory stages so that all the necessary paperwork which will be needed if XYZ happens will be ready. Note the use of the conditional. An "acte" is traditionally a "deed" (in writing, signed...). All writs have to be in writing. An "assignation civile" is a writ of summons, the latter being a writ by which an action is commenced. Proceedings are initiated by writ whenever there are likely to be contentious issues of fact. Translating "civile" is unnecessary as a writ of summons applies to civil actions only.
