Law/Patents - Law (general) / Memorie van Grieven
Dutch term or phrase: spreekaantekeningen
In een Nederlands Memorie van Grieven onder het kopje Gedingstukken komt het woord 'spreekaantekeningen' een paar keer voor. Ik ben op zoek naar de Amerikaans-Engelse vertaling hiervan.

Voorbeeldzin: ' Spreekaantekeningen en Powerpointpresentatie tbv de comparitie van partijen van [datum]'

Alvast bedankt,

speaking notes
Explanation:
Based on my research presented in the Reference comments & Discussion entries, I think "spreekaantekeningen" should probably be translated as "speaking notes". I think it relates to written notes to help a person state their case during a comparitie (appearance).

sorry, taalswitch:

"memorie van grieven = uiteenzetting van de bezwaren die appellant heeft tegen het vonnis van de rechter in eerste aanleg." (http://www.juridischewoorden.nl/juridische-betekenis.php?tit... )

die "spreekaantekeningen" zijn dus denk ik (geschreven) aantekeningen die de appellant kan gebruiken om de bezwaren die hij/zij heeft tegen het vonnis van de rechter in eerste aanleg (mondeling) uit te zetten

speaker's notes


Explanation:
I think this quite simply refers to the so-called speaker's notes which can be added to a PowerPoint presentation (at the bottom of individual slides). Both the (printed version of the) speaker's notes and the PPT presentation seem to have been lodged as pleadings in this case.

neutral  Michael Beijer: I don't think there would much point in mentioning the PowerPoint presentation and its embedded text separately.
20 mins
  -> See the note I added after posting this answer :-). I was misled by the combination of 'PowerPoint presentatie' and 'spreekaantekeningen', assuming that the presentation, incl. the speaker's notes, were used during the personal appearance of the parties.

neutral  Kitty Brussaard: This would probably be correct for 'pleitaantekeningen' >> pleadings, statements of case. A 'comparitie van partijen' (personal appearance of the parties to give information or to try to reach a settlement) is not a plea hearing.

"Appellant also claims that “the evidence of obstruction was also insufficient since the Commonwealth failed to prove that [Appellant] committed any affirmative act to assure that the handwritten notes were delivered or ‘provided’ to the OAG.” Appellant’s Brief ["Memorie van Grieven"], at 64. Appellant asserts that the meeting notes were provided to the OAG by attorneys Mark Rush and David Overstreet of K&L Gates, counsel for the HRC, pursuant to several subpoenas, and that he neither directed K&L Gates to provide the notes to the OAG nor was he consulted by K&L Gates attorneys regarding the transfer.

"Comparities en Enquêtes

De zittingsplanning is als volgt bereikbaar: 020 – 541 5000 en [email protected]

Een comparitie is een mondelinge behandeling en pleiten is niet toegestaan. Wel kan gebruik worden gemaakt van spreekaantekeningen van maximaal twee tot drie pagina’s (gewoon lettertype, gewone regelafstand). Deze spreekaantekeningen zullen aan het proces-verbaal worden gehecht, mits zij ook tijdens de comparitie aan de orde zijn geweest. Het is de rechter die daarover beslist."

"Betreft: bijeenkomst over de comparitie van partijen bij de kantonrechter

…

De opzet van de bijeenkomst zal zijn dat een korte inleiding van enkele minuten wordt gegeven over een bepaalde wens of behoefte vanuit de gemachtigden of de rechtspraak. Vervolgens zullen plenair stellingen worden besproken.
Bij voorbereidende gesprekken zijn de volgende wensen/behoeftes besproken, welke eventueel als basis kunnen dienen voor de verdere invulling van de bijeenkomst.
Vanuit gemachtigden:

a. Mag een gemachtigde tijdens een comparitie pleiten en reageren op relevante punten? Zo ja, hoe lang? Mogen spreekaantekeningen worden overgelegd? De advocatuur heeft op dit punt behoefte aan duidelijkheid.
b. proces-verbaal van de zitting opmaken: wel of niet? Tijdens of na de zitting?

"speaking notes"?

See e.g.:

"127. Skeleton arguments are aids to oral advocacy. They are not written briefs which are used in some jurisdictions as substitutes for oral advocacy. An unintended and unfortunate side effect of the growth in written advocacy (written opening and closing submissions and “speaking notes”, as well as skeleton arguments) has been that too many practitioners, at increased cost to their clients and diminishing assistance to the court, burden their opponents and the court with written briefs."

"speaking notes" continued

"Oddly, by the time I stood up to argue, I was entirely at ease. I had gradually reduced my speaking notes from 18 handwritten pages to eight, and finally to five, of about 12 words each." (http://goo.gl/tjDfLh )

"He urged the Council to give deference to the Krafft decision, which concluded that the proposed project does not meet Standard 2 because the historical content and character will not be retained. Mr. Mann then discussed Standard 9, which relates to massing, size, scale, and thearchitectural features. He submitted a declaration of Flo Lentz’ speaking notes from the Commission meeting, which noted the massive addition to a small historic building." (http://goo.gl/tGNVsT )
