français term

incident soulevé sans objet

français vers anglais Droit / Brevets Droit (général) compensation for injury during road accident
"Par ordonnance de désistement partiel de l’instance rendue, [le tribunal] a déclaré l’incident soulevé sans objet." I was thinking that this might mean something like "the court declared the case resolved". But then the document says in the next line: "[Le tribunal] a renvoyé, pour le surplus, l’affaire et les parties à l’audience de Mise en Etat Parlante... pour les conclusions [des victimes]... so now I'm confused :(

Discussion

Julia Maitland (asker) Jun 12, 2021:
OK sorry obviously more context is needed. I have another part of the text that also mentions 'incident'. First we have "Par ordonnance en date du 17 mars 2016, le Juge de la Mise en Etat du TGI de XXX a condamné la Compagnie XXX à régler... [aux victimes de l'accident] et laissé les dépens de l'incident à la charge de la Compagnie XXX.
Then further along in the text we have "Par ordonnance de désistement partiel de l’instance rendue le 23 avril 2021, [le Tribunal] a constaté le désistement d'instance de la Compagnie YYY, constaté l’acquiescement donné à ce désistement d’instance par la la Compagnie XXX, dit que la Compagnie YYY conservera les frais et dépens de l’instance ainsi éteinte entre elle et la Compagnie XXX, a déclaré l’incident soulevé sans objet, et a renvoyé, pour le surplus, l’affaire et les parties à l’audience de Mise en Etat Parlante... pour les conclusions [des victimes]

incident Am US lawyer and wasn't aware of the FR term; sorry, and thanks.

Call it an "issue" but still, I think the source of Asker's puzzlement is that a case can continue on remand despite the reviewing court's throwing out part of it. Unremarkable.
AllegroTrans Jun 8, 2021:
I don't think,,, anyone complained about an incident; the much more likely scenario is that one party made a "demande incidente" and the court dismissed it
mrrafe Jun 8, 2021:
Incident raised We don't know which party (appellant or appellee) complained about the incident.

It looks like the reviewing court either sent the case back down for further proceedings on other matters with the proviso that one aspect was moot, or sent it back because some allegation that gave rise to the appeal was moot and therefore did not justify dismissing the case without further proceedings..

dismissed the BE: ancillary application / AE: collateral motion / as unmeritorious

usually un incident in FRE and an incidente in SPA interrupts the course of trial until adjudicated upon.

quaere: is the 'incident' about reserving the quantum of loss on a split-trial adjournment, so any liability determined first and amount to be coughed up thereafter.

For ancillary, also read : interlocutory point raised..
Example sentence:

UK: Split TrialsWhere liability is disputed (i.e. who is to blame for the accident) it will sometimes be ordered by the Court that a trial on the preliminary issue of liability is heard before the value of the case is determined (

Peer comment(s):

agree AllegroTrans : Makes sense since this seems to be describing a decision, i.e. interlocutory application dismissed and matter to be relisted for directions hearing // yes, any no. of possibilities as to the nature of the application

Thanks, Chris, for the non-tactical vote. See the first answer. The interloc. app. seems to follow on from the request to reserve the issue of loss vs. costs. The only in-trial incident I know is eg the prisoner jumping over the dock + attacking the judge

...that the incident raised is not pertinent (or irrelevant)

The Court decided that the incident is irrelevant.

For "sans objet, see http://gdt.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/Resultat.aspx

See FHS Bridge

See FHS Bridge, the Council of Europe French-English Legal Dictionary

incident (noun):

question
point
particular point
interlocutory procedure
application
motion
summons

You will have to consider the wider context, weigh the evidence, and choose between these terms.

Check if the term appears elsewhere in the text, as part of a term, for example "incident d'audience" - incident occuring during the trial.


If not, then your verb in the past tense will have to match the word chosen, e.g.:

question raised
poinit raised
application made
etc.

Given the extra context, I personally think that "application" is safe and fine.

Unless a lawyer-linguist can provide some extra insight.

You're welcome!

Yes, the dictionary is great, if a little eccentric!

You know what, Chris, depending on who the audience is, the wording matters completely or not at all! Do THEY ever tell us who the audience is? No chance. Jaysus!

Reference:

See second definition of "incident"

Utilisé comme substantif un incident est un événement inattendu, comme l'est par exemple le non paiement d'un chèque qui s'est avéré sans provision, ou l'altercation se produisant au tribunal entre deux protagonistes ou entre leurs conseils. On parle dans ce dernier cas, d'un "incident d'audience".

Pris comme adjectif, l'"incident", caractérise tout acte procédural qui est susceptible de modifier le cours normal de l'instance tel qu'un acquiescement, un désistement, une décision de radiation du rôle, ou une décision de sursis à statuer. Notons que l'appel d'un jugement de sursis à statuer ne peut être interjeté qu';après autorisation du premier président. (2e Civ. - 19 novembre 2008, BICC n°699 du 1er avril 2009.)

Incident peut aussi avoir le sens d'accessoire, comme l'est une demande reconventionnelle ou additionnelle ou encore un appel en garantie, sont des "demandes incidentes" se rattachant à une procédure principale.

L'appel principal formé contre un jugement par une des parties peut provoquer de la part de l'autre partie, un " appel incident ". On peut également former un pourvoi incident devant la Cour de cassation.
