That plea (or: defence) was dismissed by the judge who granted the preliminary ruling Explanation: I can only think this refers a judge (or court) that granted a preliminary ruling on the matter. In the US it's a "preliminary injunction judge/court" if your text is for the US market. This could have been what is termed in other legal systems a "rule nisi" (i.e. an order that is granted and then is confirmed or dismissed after interested parties have been given a chance to representations by a certain date) I'd suggest go back through your text and see if there is a refernce to some form of earlier/provisional/preliminary ruling that had to be considered at this point for this to make sense. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 53 mins (2005-03-16 09:54:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just as background: A provisional ruling (or rule nisi) is often given in urgent matters to grant temporary relief pending a final hearing once all interested parties have been given a chance to state their case. |

This defence / plea was rejected in an interlocutory Explanation: judgment. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 0 min (2005-03-16 10:01:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Judgment 25. An interlocutory judgment, is one given in the course of a cause, before final judgment. When the action sounds in damages, and the issue is an issue in law, or when any issue in fact not tried by a jury is decided in favor of the plaintiff, then the judgment is that the plaintiff ought to recover his damages without specifying their amount; for, as there has been no trial by jury in the case, the amount of damages is not yet ascertained. The judgment is then said to be interlocutory. |

(that) defence was rejected by the preliminary relief judge Explanation: I tend to use preliminary relief judge as the translation of voorzieningenrechter. Another option is judge in preliminary relief proceedings. |
