"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. Experience in translating similar texts. |

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) |

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! |
