Dutch term

Ter studie.

Dutch to English Law/Patents Law (general)
This appears in a Flemish deed of incorporation:

... appeared before me, K. de Wit, associate civil-law notary in [city], civil-law notary / mangager of the civil-law company “K. de Wit, associated civil-law notaries”, having its registered office at Vosweg 7, [postal code], [city] Register of Legal Entities, number 1234.567.0001
Ter studie.**
1. Mr John Smith [and other parties appearing].



Thanks in advance.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): writeaway

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Thanks. It fits perfectly and also makes sense.

I usually translate it this way, because a notary's work is quite personal. Basically the process involves people literally appearing before the notary (so he can see them) and signing the deed/instrument of incorporation together with the notary.

'Studie' is the term for a lawyer's or notary's office. Can also be rendered as 'ten kantore', I believe.

Thanks!
agree writeaway : maybe it's a Belgian text. Studie = étude = office..... /oh- just saw that it IS a Flemish doc. Funny, what's everyday language in one country can turn into a mystery term in another.
