tender document
I know there is a set expression for this, I just can't put the right words in the right order and can't find it in the glossary.This is one of the requirements stipulated in a Mexican tender document:
"Manifestación escrita, bajo protesta de decir verdad, en cuanto a que los Interesados actúan a nombre y por cuenta propia."
'Acting on their own behalf' or 'in their own interest' is close, but does that cover it all? I'm sure there's an exact, accepted translation, but can't put my finger on it.
TIA

Pro se
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_se
Pro se is a Latin adjective meaning "for self", that is applied to someone who represents himself or herself without a lawyer in a court proceeding, whether as a defendant or a plaintiff and whether the matter is civil or criminal. This status is sometimes known as "propria persona" or "pro per". In England and Wales the phrase "Litigant in Person" is used.
In California, in both state and federal courts including the 9th Circuit, the phrase "In Pro Per" is used instead of pro se. "In pro per" is short for in propria persona Latin for "in proper person".

From Charles Montaldo, Your Guide to Crime / Punishment.
Definition: (Short form of "in propria persona" which is Latin for "in one's own proper person"). To act as one's own attorney in a civil or criminal matter.

in my opinion they are not talking about freelance or independent workers as you say, it clearly means that they are not being represented by anyone. El texto en idioma español está más que claro.

: English does not latinize this kind of phrase/// yes you are right about Black's but I live & work in an EN speaking country and this is simply not common usage at all in this context - dictionaries only have limited uses!!
