Spanish term
Conocedor el compareciente de su derecho a leer por sí, este documento público..
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
I am struggling to make sense of this sentence. I suspect it is one of these very wordy Spanish legal sentences that means very little...
It appears towards the end of a contract granting special power of attorney over a property in Spain. The phrase in full is as follows:
"Conocedor el compareciente de su derecho a leer por sí, este documento público, lo renuncia y leído por mí, el Notario, presta su consentimiento y firma conmigo."
As I understand it, the notary is saying that the signatory (compareciente) has read and understood the document and the notary is now signing on his behalf...or not...? Any help gratefully received.

The appearing party understands that he/she has right to read this public document ...
The appearing party is aware of the right to read/understands that he/she has the right to read this public document him/herself and declines to do so/waives this right;, said document having been read aloud by myself, the Notary Public, the appearing party consents and signs it with me.
In Spain, for some documents (loans, etc.), the document (the whole thing!) has to be read aloud by the Notary before it is signed by both of them. I suppose it's so the person can't claim later that he/she had no knowledge of the clauses.
(I usually choose the form with the fewest "he/she"...)
Practicum/Internship Summary and Recommendation Form...
have the right to read this document. I wish this statement to be confidential, and I hereby waive any and all rights to access granted me by Public Law ...

Sorry for typo. There is a semi-colon dividing the two sentences.

Comment: "Thank you! The rest of the sentence makes sense too, in that context. The fact that it is read aloud would never have occurred to me."
