English translation: Notify and close (conclude) book of evidence

Law/Patents - Law (general) / Contract under the law of Timor-Leste
Portuguese term or phrase: ... DN e abra conclusão...
"Notifique, DN e abra conclusão, após decurso de novo prazo para apresentação de meios de prova."

This is one of the final phrases in a judicial ruling. Specifically, what does "DN" stand for? And what is the equivalent in EN-UK for "abra conclusão"?

English translation:Notify and close (conclude) book of evidence
Explanation:
DN = Dê Notificação In other words, notify the various parties involved of the judge's ruling.

abra conclusão... at various stages of the process, the book of evidence is closed or
"concluded" and sent back to the judge for the next decision. In this case the judge orders the clerk to await the deadline for the presentation of new evidence before "concluding" that phase of the process and returning the book of evidence. At that point the judge will make the next ruling, depending on what new evidence, if any, has been presented. In PT-PT court documents, the new section of a book of evidence begins with "CONCLUSÃO: [date]" which closes the book at that point. On a line below that is the abbreviation =CLS= My lawyer explained that means "Let book of evidence be sent to judge" For lack of other explanation, that's the translation I've used for years.

Thanks a lot, Edgar.
Notes to answerer
Asker: Sounds good, Edgar. Thanks! Interestingly, it ties in with a status often seen in proceedings here - "concluso ao juiz". Your answer suggests a meaning for that, which had always evaded me.
