| | Please see explanation | Explanation:
I guess that's a deposition; in order to understand the meaning you have to take "las generales de la ley para con las partes en cuestión".
It refers, at least in Argentine law, to any bias or preference a witness may have towards any of the parties.
It's a sort of formulaic statement.
This paragraph will help:
En segundo lugar, Hugo Fayanás fue preguntado sobre las generales de la ley, es decir, si es amigo íntimo o enemigo, si es deudor o acreedor, si es familiar o tiene algún parentesco con las partes (demandante y demandados) o si tiene algún interés directo en la resolución de la causa, a lo que el empresario contestó que no.

| Grading comment Thanks, I had normally understood 'generales de ley' to be personal details, marital status, etc., but was completely foxed to find it coming AFTER the person's details here (I don't know whether I gave sufficient context to indicate that). In this case your suggestion clarified matters completely! Incidentally, here in the UK it can be difficult to get hold of good spa/eng dictionaries with Latin American usage fully covered (if at all).

Explanation:
this is somewhat of a guess, but I believe that it refers to marital status, profession, etc. you usually find in the type of document you're translating
