Law and contracts

Claim, judgment, deadline — the language a dispute is fought in.

What holds these lists together

These lists share one feature: you meet them only when things become serious, and then all at once. A court date, an official decision, a deadline, a notary’s deed — texts that do not explain what they mean and apply all the same. They hang together because everyday-looking words mean something else here, and several look like English ones. La demanda is the claim filed in court, not a demand; denunciar is to report something to the police, not to denounce anybody; el juicio is the trial itself. Read in their everyday sense, they turn a letter from the court upside down. The lists explain words, not anybody’s legal position.
