French term

siens propres

French to English Law/Patents
Opening section of a legal document (claim for payment).

"Le demandeur conteste d'emblée tous les allégués de sa partie adverse qui tant en fait qu'en droit ne serait pas strictement conformes aux **siens propres** ou expressément admis par lui."

Is this referring to the allegations? Or is it a set phrase? I looked in various dictionaries but couldn't make much sense of it...
Thanks in advance :o)

his/its own allegations

I think you're right and "siens" must refer to "allégués"

une idée

I am no lawyer but as a French native speaker I feel it refers to the allegations.
Larousse donne pour les siens: one's relatives, parents, children, friends, compatriots
Les siens propres would imply family in my opinion
Good luck!
