of very minor importance Explanation: I do not agree that it means in the alternative. It means less important BUT in a legal document, it has a legal meaning also. a titre infiniment subsidiarie -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-11-13 16:24:38 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For example, OR for a really unimportant reason In any case, translating a titre de and subsidiaire without context is a fool\'s game for me..I can\'t do it |

à titre infiniment subsidiaire minor alternative Explanation: As in minor alternative motions, submissions, etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs 50 mins (2003-11-13 19:23:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"as a minor alternative\" may be the phrase you\'re looking for, but you should give a little more context, otherwise I\'m guessing. \"Subsidiaire\" does mean \"alternative\" in this legal context. |
