Hebrew term or phrase: על הסף
The sentence:
על רקע הסילופים אשר מצויים למכביר בכתב התביעה, תגולל החברה להלן, במסגרת כתב התביעה, את העובדות לאשרון, אשר מוליכות למסקנה כי דין התביעה דחייה, *בין על הסף *ובין לגופה
I understand that לגופה is "on the merit of" but what is the correct legalese phrase for על הסף?

Reference information:
Motion in limine (Latin: "at the threshold") is a legal written "request" or motion to a judge which can be used for civil or criminal proceedings and at the State or Federal level. A frequent use is at a pre-trial hearing or during an actual trial requesting that the judge rule that certain testimony regarding evidence or information may be included or excluded from the trial. The Motion is always discussed outside the presence of the jury and always decided by a judge. The reasons for the Motions are wide and varied, but probably the most frequent use of the Motion in Limine in a criminal trial is to shield the jury from information concerning the defendant which could possibly be unfairly prejudicial to him if heard at trial. [[File:FRE 403). Some others arise under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to comply with discovery.[1] [2] [3]
