Dutch term or phrase: onthouding
XXX heeft aangekondigd dat, mocht uw Rechtbank de aanvankelijke musical verbieden, zij simpelweg de door de Duitse producent “gewijzigde” musical zal gaan opvoeren. QQQQ zal dan ook opnieuw de gang naar de rechter moeten maken en bovendien zal een en ander leiden tot executiegeschillen. Bovendien is onjuist de stelling van XXX dat hij *onthouding* zou hebben toegezegd. Dat is niet het geval geweest.

Hi all,
I do not understand the term "onthouding" in this context, anyone?

Explanation:
I suppose "onthouding" here means: toezeggen dat x zich zal onthouden iets te doen (de musical op te voeren)
