French term

pertes mobilières

French to English Law/Patents Insurance Counsel\'s submissions
Hello,
This comes in submissions in litigation about a wall that collapsed onto the neighbour's roof, damaging the roof and the intermediate floor.
The expert did a report and "... a estimé:
- les travaux de remise en état
- pertes mobilières".
Is Learned Counsel referring to loss of furniture or is it in the sense of "intangible losses" (similar found on Proz)?
I can't decide, no doubt because I've looked at it for so long! (The submissions are full of ambiguities and confusion reigns here ...:(
Thanks in advance!

loss of contents

as opposed to the structural damage and loss of land value, so non-land or 'eagle-unlanded' claims

I was trying to make a joke out of 'unlanded' as a synonym for non-land but it got stuck at the aquiline stage. ha, ha!

Ha, eyrie - a good one! (Watch the thieving gannets and magpies in Paris!)
Example sentence:

Il s’agit donc de la liste DES PERTES MOBILIERES appelée également RECLAMATION MOBILIERE

Note from asker:
Thank you very much for clearing my mind (and so quickly)! Out of curiosity, please, what is an 'eagle-unlanded' claim? The term's quite new to me.
:-) I had an eyrie feeling that I was being dense ...
