Law/Patents - Law (general)
French term or phrase: fait et mis à disposition
Attachment of real property, forced sale.

I usually translate "mis à disposition à la greffe" as "made available at the (court) registry". But there's no mention of the greffe here. Also I've never been clear precisely what the French jurists in fact mean by "fait" in this phrase: "given" (i.e. of a judgement), "produced"? "signed"?

done and laid open for inspection (at the City of AAA)
Explanation:
OK, lay open for inspection is routinely used for patent applications, but also in the UK for the register of members (shareholders) kept at a company's regd. office.

Otherwise - I stand corrected - but, outside of the USA, land is not strictly 'attached' for a forced sale, rather distrained (Scots law: sequestrated = seized in bankruptcy) on a charging order (a kind of compulsory / forcible judicial mortgage court-ordered against the judgment debtors) for a 'sale (auction) by order of the court).

Done at: de novo, a good idea to invest in the (albeit fiendishly expensive, but UK tax-deductible) Brooke's Notary, Sweet & Maxwell, known as 'The Notary's Bible' with plenty of form-precedents in English & other major European languages.

Done means 'done & dusted' or *completed*, the whole of the preceding (mis-spelt by my UK journalist & playwright brother: preceeding!) 'proceeding' (ha, ha!), agreement or sale signed off and the dealing, transaction or International Treaty taken to completion e.g the Magna Carta done at Runnymede, 1215 or the forced sale or transfer on divorce from a recalcitrant husband to wife signed off by a London High Court Conveyancing Counsel (usually a QC Barrister, rather than a Conveyancing Solicitor with more 'grass-roots' High Street pedigree) and to go straight to the UK Land Registry. Piges?

completed and made available


Explanation:
... 'fait et mis' are both adjectives meaning 'done, or made (completed) and placed; 'à disposition' could be either 'available' or 'at one's disposal'.

Example sentence(s):
  • Autorise le créancier poursuivant à faire paraître la publicité de vente forcée sur internet.
  • Authorise the pursuing creditor to make publicity appear about the sale which was forced on the internet.

neutral  AllegroTrans: You can't use simple dictionary work for legal expressions such as this and I politely suggest that you start to look at legal drafting instead of making guesses; also the translation of your example sentence is totally off-beam

Asker: Thanks. What does "done" mean here? Does it mean "we've written up all the foregoing and have nothing more to add: it is complete" ... ?

neutral  philgoddard: I know some lawyers still use "done", but it sounds silly and there are several modern English alternatives.//Just because something is time honoured doesn't mean it's good and should remain unchanged :-)
