Law/Patents - General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / Civil Case - Ivory Coast
French term or phrase: ouï le requérant en ses prétentions
This is one sentence, for which I presume there should be a standard phrase we can use in English. The case is a civil matter that has gone to court, in which the applicant is trying to remove one of the many names that make up his full title/name.

agree  Tony M: Strictly speaking, and in line with all the 'Vu...', I suppose it should really be 'the applicant having been heard'

  -> Thanks Tony// Whether it's active or passive depends upon exactly what the document is, which the Asker has failed to tell us. It certainly isn't "General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters /"! However, it seems to be a judgement, so active voice is OK.
agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: Yup, the past participle of "ouïr".
