Dutch term or phrase: tot bewijs toelaten
Hi - I'm having difficulty determining the correct translation for this. It appears at the end of the beslissing portion of a court judgment. Unsure whether this is "admits XXXX's evidence in 6.2" or something else. It appears as follows:


laat XXXXX toe tot het in rechtsoverweging 6.2 omschreven bewijs;

admit as evidence


Explanation:
laat XXXXX toe tot het in rechtsoverweging 6.2 omschreven bewijs > does let in (admit) XXX as part of the evidence referred to in point (matter) of law 6.2.

Too much info missing; 1. a civil or criminal case 2. whether xxx is a litigant, 'real evidence' : a tangible object like the 'smoking gun' or - as a consideration of law' is proof of foreign (non-Netherlands) legislation e.g. extract of a statute or enactment

Example sentence(s):
  • Generally, foreign law is proved by expert evidence. Legal texts and foreign case law can only be placed before the court as part of the expert evidence.
