Law/Patents - Law (general)
German term or phrase: angrechnet
Unsere Vergütung für die aussergerichtliche Tätigkeit wird nicht auf die Vergütung für eine etwa nachfolgende gerichtliche Tätigkeit angerechnet.

Part of a lawyer's fee agreement.

Would you agree that "angerechnet" in this case is not being used in the usual sense of "offset" but instead in the sense of "added to"? MT.

English translation:not offset against
Explanation:
Ich verstehe das so: Zunächst gibt es die Vergütung für die außergerichtliche Tätigkeit. 2. Es gibt eine Vergütung für eventuell nachfolgende gerichtliche Tätigkeiten.

Diese zweite Vergütung wird nicht auf die erste angerechnet, d.h. sie wird nicht mit dieser verrechnet.

I would translate it as "will not be offset against..."

neutral  TonyTK: Hmmm - doesn't sound logical to me. I reckon he's on target with "offset against". Probably best to wait for more input.
