ein Partei - in this context

Agree with Klaus.

I apologize; I mixed up the names. It should read "Klaus" and not "Konrad," which is your last name, albeit spelled with a C- at the beginning. I was trying to multitask, which did not work as intended. Feel free to chime in here if I did say something that you don't agree with, but it's how I read your statement.

Best wishes

And, yes, TechLawDC, the whole thing seems "garbled" and I don't blame Elizabeth for asking all these questions. Unfortunately, I'd need to read the entire case file to determine what went on here.

The document seems to be studded with grammar errors and possibly contradictory statements.

Cf prepositional usage noted in d-box of this question:

I think I've never said that before but trust me, the suggestion by Klaus is the only one making sense here.

The sentence is a general statement, while "wie hier die Beklagte" is giving you an example relevant to the case. Just omit this part, add the corrections suggested below and read the sentence again:

"Dieser Grundsatz gilt aber nicht, wenn eine Partei verschiedenartige Begehren unzulässig in ein Eventualverhältnis stellt."

This means "one of the parties," or in this context:
"one of the parties--in this case, the defendant--"

The issue they're trying to raise here may be equally relevant to Kläger and Beklagter. Here's the exact same sentence, but with the opposing party named (p. 11):
"Letztere kann der Kläger auch nicht dadurch erzwingen, dass er seine verschiedenartigen Klagen unzulässigerweise in ein Eventualverhältnis stellt."

Thus, Phil, even TechLawDC's second suggestion doesn't work because it turns "defendant" into the subject of the sentence and "party in the case" into an apposition. It should be the reverse.

In Dutch, "partij" can mean group or batch. That appears to be the case here - I don't know whether it's correct German. The gender is obviously wrong.

This has absolutely nothing to do with "against a party"; you'd have to rewrite the sentence to make this work grammar-wise. Additionally, I don't know what the second example sentence is supposed to mean ("Die Beklagte ein Partei Begehren stellt"), but it's not German.

Similarly:
"Sie hat deshalb jedenfalls dann, wenn – wie hier – die beklagte Partei eine Auslastung der Werkstatt bestreitet"

Put this as an answer so I can give you some points!

.....Diese *r* Grundsatz gilt aber nicht, wenn, wie hier die Beklagte, ein*e* Partei .....
",wie hier die Beklagte," ist eine eingeschobende Erläuterung.
