Escritos por su anverso

Non-PRO Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Police Report
At the end of a police report, it states:

"Se extiende para hacer constar que no teniendo otra diligencia que practicar, las mismas que constan de trece folios ESCRITOS POR SU ANVERSO se dan por concluidas..."

What does that mean? It seems daft to state that the report was written on the front of the pages! Or does it mean that the number 13 is written on the same page (which is the case)?

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.

Thanks for the clarification, Charles!
Charles Davis Dec 20, 2011:
Hi Jack It's not as daft as it sounds. There can be rules about whether to write only on one side of the page or on both sides. The point is that in a legal document you have to say which it is, to avoid any argument later on about whether part of the document is missing. So if you get a copy of this document later on with the back of the sheets blank, you'll know that there's not supposed to be anything on the back. On the other hand, if it says "escritos por su anverso y también por su reverso", which it does sometimes, then you'll expect there to be something written on the back of the sheets too, and if they are blank you'll know the document is incomplete.
