And another one (I've stored them up!). This is taken from a CÉDULA DE CITACIÓN and is the very first line:
Por haberse acordado en el procedimiento arriba referenciado, se cita a Vd. en calidad de testigo a fin de asistir a la celebración del JUICIO ORAL siguiente:
Does it mean "the court has decided to conduct this case and so you are subpoenaed", or is it the witness who has agreed to something?
Thanks.

As ruled/ordered in the proceeding
Procedurally speaking, in some Latin American countries, "acordar/se" means "to rule" or "to order", hence you often see the noun "acuerdo" used to mean a "court order/ruling/decision".
In this case, you could translate it as:
"As ruled in the proceeding mentioned above, you are ordered to appear as a witness..."
or for a more US-English style,
"Pursuant to a ruling in the above-styled proceeding, you are ordered to appear..."

Adrian MM.
: I think you're right- Nowt to do with a case management conference decision. However, in E&W, this would be a 'witness summons': so your are hereby summon(s)ed. Subpoena used to be for civil cases only.

Good to know, and thanks for the agree, Adrian. I think this is probably the idea, but you could have left your answer for the time being until we can be sure what's going on here.

Sarah Verger
: In view of the 'en' I agree it must mean the agreement was made IN the proceeding, not about the proceeding

Thanks, Sarah, although I think it's a ruling rather than an agreement.
