Comme ils est dit à la minute
French to English
Law/Patents
insurance/litigations
Is there a legal expression to say this in English (international, please).
It is written after a text giving the name and address for one of the parties being summoned to a hearing.
Here is the sentence:
"Avons donn' assignationa à : SociétéXXXXdont le siège est situé...prise en la personne de son représentant légal domicilié en cette qualité audit siège, où étant et parlant à: comme il est dit à la minute."
preceding this text was the same for another company but it was not followed by "comme il est dit à la minute", it was followed by "comme en annexe ci-jointe".
This is the first time that this is said in the document, so I don't believe that it means "as just stated". But, I have no clue what it might mean other than that. Thank you for your help.

2)placing the order to appear (assignation) in the party's mailbox. (Usually with a copy sent by registered mail).

These are just the "huissier de justice's" service options.

What you are dealing with...
