peer agreement (net): +1(cf. point 1, however) Explanation: Neil's is also correct, but if your text is written very formally it might be a bit informal. This is the way I write it every time. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2010-08-27 08:39:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I just noticed what Christian's written after the / in his answer - my brain can't be fully observant yet! |

without prejudice/(or cf., however,) Explanation: Depending on the context you can express this in at least two ways. By re-structuring the sentence using "Without prejudice to clause 1/(or subsection 1 if an act)", you must do something else." Or you can also just write "You must do something else, cf. however clause 1." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2010-08-30 16:06:07 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I just noticed the discussion below. Note that "cf." is not the same as "see". The abbreviation "cf." is short for "confer" ("compare"), whereas "see" is simply "see," see? |
