Law/Patents - Law (general)
Spanish term or phrase: comparecencia
This word appears in a legal document regarding the sale of shares in a company to a man who is not a resident of Spain:

"En cuanto a su condicion de no residente se remite a la comparecencia de esta escritura".

I know it normally means appearance, but I don't think that this fits in this context.

Thank you

introductory clause wherein the parties present at this act are named


Explanation:
From my Univ. gloss. Although a bit convoluted, it gives an exact idea of what "comparecencia" is, because you will admit that to the English reader, even if not a layman, "appearance" may not be too clear.

Your sentence would run like this:

Reference is made to the introductory part/clause wherein.....etc.
