subsidiary (claim) Explanation: German standard legalese: A beantragt xxxx, hilfsweise yyyy. This means: A claims xxxx, but failing that, A also makes a subsidiary claim to yyyy. Presumably in your context the respondent does not want to change whatever they are requested to change, but failing that, they ask to be given 3 months to make the changes. I'm positive about the meaning, not sure how to put this into proper English, though... |

additional Explanation: The defendants propose allowing them an additional conversion (or adaptation) period of three months. Dictionary definition of "hilfsweise" is "in an auxiliary, subsidiary or ancillary capacity" but I don't think any of these three adjectives would sound quite right here.
