Law/Patents - Law (general) / pismo w sprawie alimentacyjnej
English term or phrase: peremptory against us
fragment pisma od prawnika proszącego o szczegóły dotyczące zaległości alimentacyjnych i podającego przyczynę odroczenia sprawy:

We can confirm that this matter has been adjourned to 1.01.1990 and that it has been marked peremptory against us on the basis that we were not in a position to deal with the mater on that day due to the unavailability of information that had been requested from the Polish authorities.

czy w tym kontekście chodzi o to, że odroczenie sprawy było z winy tejże strony, która nie posiadała dokumentów? czy też należy to jakoś inaczej rozumieć?

Re: Peremptory on the Defendants
You're not in Michigan. It looks like certain Canadian courts use that phraseology to reflect a final order against one of the parties, so it would likely be an expression that the defendant is not going to be granted any more adjournments. Check with a lawyer in the actual jurisdiction.
