sic et in quantum

English translation: not definitely

13:46 Mar 21, 2007
Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general)
Portuguese term or phrase: sic et in quantum
Legal appeal for a ruling to be suspended.

"... suspender, sic et in quantum, os atos executórios que se encontram en andamento perante a 2a vara criminal da justiça federal de SP."

I realise this is Latin, but it seems to be used primarily in Portuguese texts.

Thanks.

English translation:not definitely
Explanation:
A expressão é si, não sic
Si et in quantum – Se e enquanto. Isto é, não definitivamente.
Se for sic, significa "assim", mas não faz sentido!

sic et in quantum


Explanation:
"Sic et in quantum" significa "sempre e quando".
