Yes Kevin
Kevin Oheix Jul 8, 2018:
Counsel for summoned parties?
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Jul 8, 2018:
Haha! Maybe a little bit of moderato in the allegro might do the trick.
P.S. I hadeth figured outeth that it waseth "the parties-eth".
Jack Dunwell (asker) Jul 8, 2018:
I think a better memorial might be a statue of Allegro in Ibizafurtively reserving his bit of beach at midnight
AllegroTrans Jul 8, 2018:
This "nonsense" indeed... And you can't "delete" it Mr. JD. This is slanderous. I'll I'll I'll I'll sue the hide off of yez.
Jack Dunwell (asker) Jul 8, 2018:
Hello Nicki. Thank you. This is in fact a howler! "cités" here being summoned parties. It's all Chris' fault for pushing it beyond reason. Blame him. We can delete this nonsense....
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Jul 8, 2018:
With no context... I read this to be a reference to someone working in the "banlieues", thus an "inner cities" lawyer.
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Jul 8, 2018:
@Fourth At the moment, it is possible to look back through the list as find you previous posts related to this one. It would be a good idea to do a quick copy/paste each time though. I may be getting lazy, but I can't be bothered to look back through a series of posts to track down the necessary info. Last but not least, it diminishes the value of the term, which could be of help to others in the future. In the glossary, it is simply going to be much more complicated to track down the helpful context. Please do take the time to copy 'n' paste Mr Fourth! ;-) Each post is meant to be "standalone".
Jack Dunwell (asker) Jul 8, 2018:
You are RIGHT Mr MacKerron !!!!
Jonathan MacKerron Jul 8, 2018:
Not going mad it's just your aging eyes - happens to me all the time.
Jack Dunwell (asker) Jul 8, 2018:
Am I going mad ??? I thought "cities" rather than "parties summoned"

legal representative for the parties cited

Avocat can be just "lawyer" or "advocate" or "solicitor" but "Legal representative" covers them all.

disagree Ben Gaia : I did wonder, but thought I'd better add the right translation in case others didn't spot the irony.

thanks Ben but I fear that you have missed the point that I was winding my buddy Jack up just a notch
agree writeaway : guess some people don't have a sense of humour!

agree Daryo : given the context given, this is a perfectly plausible interpretation! Points? Who cares ...

thanks but I cannot see any points coming my way sadly // if Jack had a way of deducting a couple of hundred points from me, I doubt whether he would hesitate
