GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Employee contract
Swedish term or phrase: mom
Arbetstidsavtal för tjänstemän § 2 mom 2:2.

I know when you're speaking about laws, you usually translate 'mom' as chapter, but what is it in an agreement? Item? Point? Subsection? Or can I just "translate" with a full stop (period) and write § 2.2:2 ?
Many thanks for your help!!

subsection / item / 2(3)


Explanation:
Many variants possible, here are some more:

Swedish 1 kap. 2 § 3 mom. lagen
can be rendered variously as :

Chap. 1, § 2, item 3 of Act
Chap. 1, § 2(3) of Act
Chap. 1, section 2(3) of Act

I think I would opt for the 3rd variant which neatly avoids translating the word mom at all, does not use the very Swedish § character, and is easily understood.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, Peter. I was actually looking for an answer more directly related to agreements or contracts and not to legislation, but I appreciate your answer, and your helpful hint about the very Swedish § character. Hadn't thought about that before...
