Serbian term or phrase: nekoncentrisani
Suprotno je pravilima Kodeksa kada advokat...izlaže klijenta nepotrebnim izdacima, a narocito kada to cini predlaganjem suvišnih ili **nekoncentrisanih** dokaza i bezrazložnim prouzrokovanjem odlaganja ili povecavanja broja rasprava;

This is from a code of ethics for lawyers. How would you translate this?

Kind regards

English translation:only loosely connected to the case
Explanation:
"... predlaganjem suvišnih ili nekoncentrisanih dokaza ..."

"... by introducing evidence that is redundant or only loosely connected to the case …"

"only a tenuous connection" would be maybe too strong.

scattered (unconcetrated, beside the point evidence)


Explanation:
It is a rather strange usage of the word, but I wager the term implies proposing scattered pieces of evidence that do not pertain to the subject matter, or do not relate to each other (i.e are beside the point).
