Spanish term

Sobrecartada

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
This appears in a legal document describing potential delays to divorce proceedings in Peru. The full frase is "No resulta trascendente el devolver de la notification de la Resolución...para que nos sea sobrecartada junto al escrito faltante...."

Does this simply mean .....so that [the court] reissues the notification to us together with....?? Or is it something else?

Best wishes. Sian.

No one seems to want to touch this, so I'll chance my arm. I think you're right, and that "sobrecartar" means reissuing a previously issued court order or injunction, or, in this case, notice. It sounds as though it was first issued and sent without a document that should have accompanied it, and that the correct procedure is to reissue it with the missing document.

"sobrecartar" is translated in Neuman and Baretti's nineteenth-century dictionary, and in a number of other places, as "to repeat a former injunction"

Here is a Bolivian court judgment that turns on the meaning of this word:

"Para una debida comprensión del término “sobrecartar”, se tiene que, según la definición expresada en el Diccionario Enciclopédico de Derecho Usual de Guillermo Cabanellas, es un: ”nuevo mandamiento judicial por no haber tenido cumplimiento el primero”."
http://www.tribunalconstitucional.gob.bo/resolucion12792.htm...

So you could say "so that it can be reissued to us", or however you want to phrase it.

Here's an example of "reissue" in English:

"The court may, upon the filing of an affidavit by the applicant that the respondent could not be served within the time required by statute, reissue an order."

Note from asker:
I eventually found a reference to this in Larousse "duplicado de una provisión que daban los tribunales cuando por cualquier motivo no se había cumplido después de la primera expedición". so you were spot on! Many thanks. Sian.
