Einzelantrag und Sammelantrag

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)

Armorel Young Oct 20, 2008: I can only underline what Claire says - we must have CONTEXT; you can't expect a useful answer without providing as a minimum a complete sentence and an indication of the type of document and its purpose.
Claire Cox Oct 20, 2008: More context please! Is this in a financial sense or a contract or ....? It could be any one of a number of things.

German term (edited): Einzelantrag und Sammelantrag in Englisch?

Selected

individual versus collective request

very difficult without more context. If used in the sense of Sammelklage, it could even be a class action
