Pour

English translation: In order to

French to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Assignation (Summons)
French term or phrase: Pour
Context: Summons to appear before the "Tribunal de Grande Instance".

The word "POUR" appears as one of the headings on its own. I have translated as "FOR", but it looks very odd. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Headings before this include:

A LA REQUETE DE:
SOUSSIGNES AVONS DONNE ASSIGNATION A:

D'AVOIR A COMPARAITRE...

Headings after the POUR include:

PAR CES MOTIFS and SOUS TOUTES RESERVES.


The paragraph after POUR begins "Attendu que...)

Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
I think you will find that after the list of "Attendu que", the objective of the summon is given. Maybe something like "voir dire..."?
