Bonjour, chers collègues,

Dans un jugement de divorce, en note marginale figure "Régis. Req.:" suivi d'un numéro. Quel est son équivalent en anglais ?

Bien à vous

Explanation:
Régistre (for Registre) des requêtes.
I think this must be from Belgium. I've only found one example online and it is from there.

That is what it means according to this:
https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/régis-req-abréviatio...

Cited in this previous FR>DE question:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_german/certificates_dipl...

And I think it makes good sense:

"Si le pouvoir juridictionnel du tribunal est épuisé par une décision définitive sur le divorce, il ne s'agit plus d'une demande additionnelle et la requête doit être inscrite au rôle général (C. enreg., art. 2691) ou au registre des requêtes (C. enreg., art. 2692) en fonction du caractère contradictoire ou unilatéral de la procédure."
http://ccff02.minfin.fgov.be/KMWeb/document.do?method=view&n...

Although "registre" is correctly spelt in the Belgian source just cited, "régistre" for "registre" seems to be common in Belgian French, as the wordreference contributor says, and that would explain the acute accent.

For example: "Régistre National des Personnes Physiques"
http://www.1307.be/registre-national-des-personnes-physiques...

"Dans le parler négligé ou vulgaire l'é fermé remplace parfois l'e féminin. On entend ainsi (...) régistre``."

I mean no disrespect to Belgians by citing the last reference!

Registration of petitions in the registres des requêtes is required:

"Article 269/2 Code Enregistrement – Région de Bruxelles-Capitale
Il est perçu pour chaque requête inscrite dans les registres des requêtes :
1° dans les justices de paix et les tribunaux de police, un droit de 31 EUR.
2° dans les autres juridictions, un droit de 60 EUR."
http://ccff02.minfin.fgov.be/KMWeb/document.do?method=view&n...

If there is a registration, there must inevitably be a number associated with it. And if there is such a number, it is surely highly likely to be quoted in a judgment. So this interpretation makes perfect sense.

writeaway: I saw https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/régis-req-abréviatio... immediately. Don't think it's overly reliable. Asker is native French and in Belgium. Wonder why he hasn't answered my question./ too one-off imo

2 mins

-> I presume he doesn't know what it stands for in French. Wordref often unreliable, but also quite often right, and I think it probably is here. // Little to go on, I grant you, but this is very likely IMO and no alternatives on the horizon.

neutral

Josephine Cassar: There is no 'des' in Asker's question though. No, don't think so

45 mins

-> But this is an abbreviation, so it would probably be omitted. // Why not? Standard practice. Like Dep. Sciences Edu for Département des Sciences de l'Éducation, for example.

agree

ph-b (X): I find it hard to reconcile the négligé ou vulgaire bit with a legal document, but what else could it be? Possibly handwritten mention from absent-minded clerk? Your next to the last ref shows mistake made by author tho link points to correct name.

3 hrs

-> Thank you! Yes, I agree, it does seem strange, but as you say, it is hard to think of an alternative.
