Discussion

Paul Morris (asker) Jul 13, 2006:
It is basically a series of claims and counter claims being made - it appears there are principal and subsidiary actions being brought - it switches between 'intimé au principal, appelante incidemment' to 'appelante au principal, intimé incidemment' depending on the party (as you can probably tell I am stillgetting my head round it :)
Jeffrey Lewis Jul 13, 2006:
Ah, hello! But I then need a little more context.
Paul Morris (asker) Jul 13, 2006:
mine does the same!! It is intimée (which I have as respondent)
Jeffrey Lewis Jul 13, 2006:
Paul, it didn't come out readable. Is the first part "Intimé"? It might mean "(Information) communicated to the principal party, incidentally associated with the appeal process" - but that's a wild guess (could be my computer that is garbling your title).

Respondent in the main appeal and cross-appellant in the cross-appeal

L'intime is the respondent in the appeal. If at first instance, this same person did not win on all on his claims, he can appeal these incidentally in the appeal against him (il fait appel incidemment des prententions qui ne lui ont pas ete reconnues par le tribunal de premiere instance). The phrase above is quite long but there is no short phrase that would, to my knowledge, reflect clearly and exactly the French phrase.
Peer comment(s):

agree Adrian MM. (X) : respondents/cross-appellants if fem. = corp. Plural acceptable Eng. High Court practice.
