Dutch term

exceptie van gewijsde opwerpen

Dutch to English Law/Patents Law (general)
I am translating a Belgian "vonnis" into English, and have a hard time finding proper English translations for some Belgian-law terms, such as the one above. Could anyone enlighten me, and perhaps provide useful links? Unfortunately, my Juridisch Economisch Lexicon focuses mainly on Dutch-law terminology.

Put forward a plea of autrefois convict

exceptie van gewijsde
Right not to be punished again in criminal proceedings for an offence for which he/she has already been finally acquitted or convicted.

autrefois acquit/convict
The doctrines of autrefois acquit and autrefois convict state that no-one may be
put in peril twice for the same offence. Accordingly, if the accused has previously
been acquitted or convicted (or could, by an alternative verdict, have been
convicted) of the same offence as that with which he or she is now charged, a plea
of autrefois will bar the prosecution.

exceptie van gewijsde opwerpen

Nieuwe strafvervolgingen tegen dezelfde verdachte
69. Alleen degene die reeds eerder werd vervolgd, kan de exceptie van gewijsde opwerpen bij nieuwe vervolgingen wegens hetzelfde feit. Het gezag van gewijsde van wat ten aanzien van een van de daders van het misdrijf werd beslist, strekt zich niet uit tot de afzonderlijk vervolgde mededaders en medeplichtigen aan dit misdrijf. Die beslissing kan hen noch schaden, noch baten(85).

Het rechterlijk gewijsde als oorzaak van verval van de strafvordering is van openbare orde. Als een verdachte of beklaagde beweert een tweede maal voor hetzelfde feit te worden vervolgd, kan hij de exceptie van gewijsde aanvoeren. Hij kan hier niet aan verzaken en kan de schending van het gezag van gewijsde in elke stand van het geding inroepen. De rechter moet het verval ambtshalve toepassen. Voor de burgerlijke vordering is dit anders: omdat het hier een privaatrechtelijke vordering betreft, zal de exceptie van gewijsde enkel worden
toegepast als de partijen ze aanvoeren.

Note from asker:
Thank you, but my "vonnis" does not concern criminal law, but family law, so I cannot use the term that you propose. Should have mentioned the type of law in my question I now realise.

De exceptie van gewijsde kan in elke stand van het geding worden voorgedragen voor de feitenrechter voor wie de vordering is ingesteld. Zij kan door de rechter niet ambtshalve worden opgeworpen.

thanks
agree Bryan Crumpler : with the exception of the lack of exception. Perhaps redundant, but considering the miscegenation of the language...

Thanks, Bryan. Definitely food for thought, you may be right on that.

file an exception of res judicata

Hi Astrid,

If you know any French, it's useful to cross reference Flemish terms with Walloon terms. We have a similar situation with our French-speaking brethren in Louisiana, and there is case law available where peremptory exceptions (i.a.) to res judicata have been raised (by filing a formal plea etc.) as opposed to raising res judicata itself (i.e. moving to dismiss / entering it as an affirmative defense when not filed as a motion).

As partially alluded to above, "l'autorité de chose jugée" is equiv. to the (rule/doctrine of) res judicata (pp. 12-13 may be helpful in explaining this in BE French--> http://www.juridat.be/tribunal_travail/tournai/images/glossa... )

Delving further, however, l'autorité and l'exception are not synonyms in French (BE or otherwise); so (to me) it's not referring to the rule/doctrine of res judicata on its own standing, but is rather filing for / pleading it as an exception.

Some info from the Louisana Law Review on exceptions may be useful to you. http://digitalcommons.law.lsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?articl...
