Thank you!/Merci! That makes it clear. Thank you.
Elodie Bonnafous (asker) Aug 9, 2023:
Yes it is from Scotland. The sentence where it is contained is of no help, but here it is:
"The Lord Ordinary, on the unopposed motion of the representative party before calling, (1) allows the Application to be amended in terms of the representative party’s motion [...] by amending the address of the sixth, seventh and eighth defenders by deleting the current address and substituting the new address therefor where they appear:
(a) in the Instance and paragraph 5 of the Application for permission to bring Group Proceedings; (b) in paragraph 1 of the Application for authorisation to be a Representative Party;
AllegroTrans Aug 8, 2023:
Insufficient context We need to see the complete sentence containing "instance" please
Is this from Scotland?
writeaway Aug 8, 2023:
Is this a French-English (or German) question? If it's an English document, please provide a sentence showing how 'instance' is being used.

Identification des parties

The "instance" (Scots legal procedure) is the heading to a writ or other proceeding which sets out the names and designations of the parties to the action

The difficulty with "exorde" is that this is used in court judgments as opposed to writs etc., and contains a short summary of the procedure
