Law/Patents - Law (general) | | Spanish term or phrase: situación procesal | From a report (Spain) regarding legal proceedings:
El informe tiene por objeto analizar la situación procesal de los diferentes litigios que afectan a XXX relativos a la explotación de plantas depuradoras.
Is this simply 'legal procedures'? TIA! |
| | | status of the legal proceedings | Explanation:
This may not be the context, but often in Spain when a given party has several court cases underway or pending judgment, (usually) the procurador, but sometimes the lawyer is asked to give a report of the "situación procesal", i.e., the status of the proceedings, how far along they are and, most importantly, a calculation as to when they might be ripe for judgment ("vistos para sentencia"). You will have to see whether this fits your specific context. |

Explanation:
Standard legal language, a Google search brings up lots of hits, on example being from the docket of the International Court of Justice:
"... of the intervention by El Salvador until a later stage of the proceedings"

Correction: "one example" as opposed to "on example"

Also, normally "situación procesal" refers to a person, and in that situation I would say "procedural status", but in this case I would use "stage of the proceedings" since the object are the "litigios".
