[separate mention]Het is niet bepaald een voorrecht om in het kader van een lawsuit onder ede gehoord te worden. .. Niets is immers uitsluitend zwart of wit. Bovendien kijk je na afloop soms anders tegen een situatie aan dan op het moment zelf. Vaak vergeet je ook de dimensie van de tijdbalk.

I wouldn\'t use timeline for a list
timeline: a graphical representation of a period of time, on which important events are marked.

In view of the confirmation received from Robert - I can\'t support either time scale or time line in this particular case - this is pictoral representation. Usually for a plain list one would use chronology - but here calling a spade a spade will work - thus, Personal History

there is no pictoral representation - rather

me too, there isn't any graphical representation here from what I can see and it would thus be appropriate

time scale
Van Dale defines 'tijdbalk' as 'tijdschaal in de vorm van een balk'. Thus, in my humble opinion, 'timescale' would be a fair translation. On the other hand, I think Deborah's 'chronology' or Martijn's 'time line' would both be appropriate translations.
