Sorry didn't spot your query there!
philgoddard Oct 19, 2011:
Thanks for that helpful comment, Willemina. It's called getting as much context as you can, and Kitty's explanation helped me to decide what I believe is the correct answer.
Willemina Hagenauw Oct 19, 2011:
Yes, but the question did not relate to rov. but to b.a.
Kitty Brussaard Oct 19, 2011:
rov = rechtsoverweging This is a standard legal abbreviation. See also the following useful link: http://www.esl.eur.nl/bibliotheken/sanders_bibliotheek/jurid...

referred to above

It would seem that 'b.a.' simply refers to 'boven aangehaald' in legal documents.

Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : We would say "op. cit." It's obviously been referred to previously in the document, as it just says the court and the date, but not the case number.
