huissier

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering duct/cable laying
Before starting work:

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Bourth (X) Jan 4, 2011:
Question Does a British notary trudge through a farmer's fields to observe and take due note of crop damage caused by wild boar or storms, as a French huissier will do, for example, so the farmer's insurance claim will be valid? Or does he simply validate the farmer's oath that said damage was caused by said means on said date (if such oaths are even necessary)?

huissier is bailiff or usher BUT I don't think bailiffs are employed in the same way in English-speaking countries. They work for the courts to my knowledge
