Dutch term or phrase: XXX stelt bij antwoord dat AAA failliet in de tussentijd failliet zou zijn ...
I need help with this "bankruptcy" sentence.

XXX stelt bij antwoord dat AAA failliet in de tussentijd failliet zou zijn gegaan, doch uit bijgaand uittreksel uit het Handelsregister d.d. juli 2000 blijkt dat AAA geenszins failliet is verklaard (productie 11).

Handelsregister = Commercial Register

failliet is verklaard = bankrupt is declared

All suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

English translation:XXX argues in his statement of defense that AAA is bankrupt or has been declared bankrupt
Explanation:
Hi,

Could 'antwoord' not be translated as 'statement of defense' and not in the sense of 'reply'.

Then you would get something like:
XXX argues in his statement of defense that AAA is bankrupt or has been declared bankrupt in the meantime whereas the appended extract from the Commercial Register, dated July 2000, shows that AAA did not go bankrupt at all (exhibit 11).

Just a thought!

"In responding XXX stated that either AAA had been declared bankrupt, or would have eventually filed


Explanation:
(wau, de NL zin loopt nou niet echt lekker)

"In responding XXX stated that either AAA had been declared bankrupt, or would have eventually filed for bankruptcy."

I really could not find any decent resources on the web. Perhaps you can call the client to point out this obvious typo and ask for clarification.

Good luck!
Marijke

XXX claims in his reply that AAA, in receivership, had in the meantime been declared bankrupt


Explanation:
Looking at the sentence I wondered if AAA failliet could mean AAA in receivership. Sometimes it is stipulated that companies who have filed for bankruptcy need to put this behind their name. I hope this is of some help.

could be an editing error, or...


Explanation:
following on from Marijke's suggestion, it could be that 'AAA failliet' means 'AAA, the bankrupt' (i.e. 'the bankrupt company/person') in the context of this text (legal ruling?)

loosely:

XXX states by way of reply that AAA (bankrupt) had supposedly gone bankrupt in the interim, whereas the accompanying extract from the Commercial Register, dated July 2000, indicates that AAA did not go bankrupt at all (exhibit 11)
