German term
Vadney (X)
Beklagte zu 2)
German to English
Law/Patents
In the Rubrum or case title of an Amtsgericht document, the defendants are listed as:
Beklagte zu 1)
Beklagte zu 2)
Beklagte zu n)
in a multiple defendant action. I started out translating this as "Defendant as to 1, etc." but am uncomfortable with this.
Can anyone provide an alternative or is this acceptable?
Thanks very much!

Defendant no.1 (or A), no. 2 (or B) ...
I thought it meant several defendants being accused of the same crime, with the 'zu 1', 'zu 2' etc referring to their respective personal details given earlier in the text.
I would simply refer to them as no. 1, 2 etc, having specified this earlier with 'shall hereafter be known as defendant no. 1).
I hope this makes sense :-)

defendant with reference to point 1, etc.
looking at this, we're obviously referring to the different offences as point 1, 2 and so on in a court document, so I would say "defendant with reference to point 1, defendant with reference to point 2, etc..."

First Defendant, Second Defendant
This is customary in England, and I think in the USA too.
