Law/Patents - Law (general) / Ecuador
Spanish term or phrase: lo que comunico a usted para los fines de ley
This is a common phrase that appears at the end of Ecuadorian legal documents, right after, "Notifíquese y cítese"
...Name of the judge...
"Lo que comunico a usted para los fines de ley."

followed by the name of the Judge/ Secretary

There are thousands of instances of this phrase on Ecuadorian documents but I wonder what the best phrasing would be?

disagree  AllegroTrans: Notice is "given" by the document but "service" is a separate and distinct process, for example a bailiff calling round and handing the document over personally
