Law (general)
Scottish law
This is from Scottish Law. The summons which is served on the defendent has a condescendence and in the pleas in law the following is written:
"The defender having granted to the pursuer a guarantee as condescended upon and the sums sued for being due thereunder, the pursuers are entitled to Decree for payment as craved."
"The defender having granted to the pursuer a guarantee as condescended upon and the sums sued for being due thereunder, the pursuers are entitled to Decree for payment as craved."

zoals vermeld in de eis
In Scottish law the condescendence is the statement of facts presented by the plaitiff in a case.
Van den End (Juridisch Leixcon) translates "eis in conventie" as plaintiff's statement of claim.
And if you look at http://www.google.nl/search?q=cache:QrThB3KEF5UJ:www.lexisne... it says: "Generally the words ‘hereinafter condescended upon’ are used as a filler to pad out pleadings. There is often no requirement to refer to pleadings in other parts of the summons. The pleadings will be read as a whole. These phrases should only be used if absolutely necessary."
So I think what they are saying is that the guarantee is mentioned in the condescendence, so in Dutch: zoals vermeld in de eis, or something to that effect

M.a.w. het heeft niets te maken met \"condescending\" in de betekenis waarin we het meestal gebruiken: neerbuigend etc.

als afgedwongen/vereist
Maybe? Or 'als afgesproken/als overeengekomen'. The latter agrees better with the 'upon', which to me implies some sort of agreement on both sides. But it lacks the condescending aspect. But what do I know about Scottish law! Good luck!
