Spanish term
a lo que V.I. disponga
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
police
How would you translate this phrase (the end, the 5 words in the question, rest for context) that occurs at the end of a police statement concerning the surrender of a stolen vehicle (in Spain) to the UK Insurance company:
“...se le hace entrega del vehiculo al declarante, el cual se hace cargo, trasladando el mismo a un local en su domicilio, quedando informado que el mismo se le entrega en calidad de deposito a lo que V.I. disponga.”
(I presume that VI is Vuestra Illustrisima or some such.)
“...se le hace entrega del vehiculo al declarante, el cual se hace cargo, trasladando el mismo a un local en su domicilio, quedando informado que el mismo se le entrega en calidad de deposito a lo que V.I. disponga.”
(I presume that VI is Vuestra Illustrisima or some such.)

: yes María, because the original speaks about a stolen car, so we can presume VI is a judge, who in USA is appealed as Your Honour

Comment: "Thanks, you all helped but this one the most. I agree it's archaic, but in the UK we say "your honour" to refer to the judge."

You are right.It could be paraphrased as \"Vuestra Ilustrísima\".It is rather old-fashioned but still not unfrequent in Spanish official forms.

as you requested.
V.I. is a very old-fashioned expression in Spain which, indeed, used to mean: Usted Ilustrisimo (in times of Franco)... But if anyone ever used that term nowadays, we would be badly looked upon, so, I suggest the above.

I do insist: if we did translate this as such, we would look ridiculous.

I agree entirely, but although it exists in forms, there is no reason to translate it as it used to be.Nowadays, it does not exist, except in forms (formularios).

Jorge Rubino
: is a form still used, and besides you have to respect the original
