French term or phrase: y venir le requis susnommé
"Y VENIR le requis susnommé et à défaut de conciliation à l'audience" - in a summons, after the "par ces motifs". I know there are similar glossary entries already, but i am wondering if here it can refer at all the presence of the defendant at the hearing as the defendant is referred to in the text as "le requis". any thoughts greatly appreciated.... thanks

For these reasons, the above-named defendant/respondent is ordered to appear before the court
Explanation:
Hello,

Do you know that "requis" is not always best translated by "defendant" (person or party). I don't know what the proceedings are about, but "requis", who is always technically a "defendant", is referred to as a "respondent" civil suits, divorce proceeding, juvenile court, and other proceedings.

Par ces motifs = For these reasons

The main idea here is that the defendant must make a court appearance as ordered by the latter.

Also, "Venir" is in the infinitive because it's a formal command (as you see with instructions: "Ne pas ouvrir", for example)

y = there (the court to which is summoned to appear)

I hope this helps.

à défaut de conciliation à l'audience = reconciliation hearing

The defendant is ordered to appear in court AGAIN if no agreement is reached at the reconciliation hearing for which he also must be present.

I'm not sure because I don't have what precedes and follows the sentence above.

  -> Thanks, Swanda!
agree  Attorney DC Bar: Or "shall appear", as in "(a) When a summons is issued in lieu of a warrant of arrest, the defendant shall appear before the court"..Probably is a defendant here, since this phrase is used in criminal proceedings. Google: "y venir le requis" tribunal

  -> Thanks, rufinus! "Shall appear" would work, too, but it's not imperative in this case. You can still receive summons for civil trials, divorce proceedings, etc. That's why I thought it could also be a "respondent."
