This is mentioned in a subpoena.

PÅSTANDE:

I am unable to find 'principalt' in any dictionaries, including legal dictionaries (or here on ProZ).

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance :)

Explanation:
Has been asked and answered before by both a familiar asker and respondent. So it's a good bet which answer is going to be (re)chosen.

Subpoena suggests in the UK civil vs. criminal, whilst unclear from the question.

Hating to see Danish girls in pain, I pray that you will nonetheless enjoy translating such a long and litigious (civil pleading?) document.

Example sentence(s):
  • of the judgment under appeal the Court of First Instance rejected the principal claim on the ground that the argument put forward in the application submitted

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for this - I thought I had/it had been asked before but couldn't find it when I searched for it. I think the answer can be both this suggestion and Sven's suggestion. It's a huge document of 16,000 words, so I will wait a few days before deciding which is better.

Reference: principal (primær) påstand / subsidiær (sekundær) påstand

Reference information:
Erhvervsret C (iBog): 22.2 Civile retssager
erhvervsretc.systime.dk/index.php?id=504
I påstanden udtrykkes det krav, som en part ønsker at få opfyldt ved dommen. Der vil ofte blive fremsat flere påstande - eksempelvis en ***principal (primær) påstand***, f.eks. om at sagsøgte skal betale 100.000 kr., og en ***subsidiær (sekundær) påstand*** f.eks. om betaling af et mindre beløb efter rettens skøn. Påstandene er meget vigtige, da dommeren kun må dømme i henhold til de nedlagte påstande.
