Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / contract
French term or phrase: d'autre part
I know the usual meaning, it's the context that floors me. Imagine a contract: "XXX, d'une part, et YYY d'autre part." (2 paragraphs, as usual).

Then, "D'autre part/Il est convenu ce qui suit".

Am I correct in assuming that the second "d'autre part" is an oversight on the part of the typist, or does it make sense in ANY OTHER WAY?

Explanation:
XXX on the one hand
YYY on the other hand.
Moreover or to accentuate still more "In addition".
I guess that is the real meaning here !
In alla cases,I do not think it is an oversight of typist

Okay, you all agree. But it's still bad legal style in English to say "moreover" when all you've said so far is "XXX and YYY are signing this". It's expected they at least make a declaration, to which they'll say "moreover".
