the undernamed person....


Explanation:
We perhaps ought to translate the whole phrase, whilst considering stylistically - on the back of threadbare, legal drafting G/hits - whether undernamed should be hyphenated and preface the person, or mentioned below after the person would be a better alternative.

Example sentence(s):
  • Estate Number: B9/2019 and that persons indebted to the estate are ... is hereby given that the undernamed has been appointed Trustee

neutral  writeaway: Undernamed simply means 'mentioned below'. This is not an improvement, stylistically or otherwise, just a synonym. And perhaps more suitable in heavy-duty legal texts than in a police statement/this is still just a synonym, not an improvement.

agree  B D Finch: I think this works better than "mentioned below", which is a bit too vague and casual in this context.

agree  Ph_B (X): "Constatons que se présente à nous" is very formal and "undernamed" sounds right here.
