Law (general)
French Senate Report
Hello !
How would you translate into English the legal expression
"dans ses attendus" in the following sentence:
"Le rapport, très critique dans ses attendus, met l'accent sur plusieurs propositions portant sur différents points."
I'm not too sure of the relevant use of "in its grounds" here, esp. as I'm not a legal specialist.
I'm afraid I can't give more context.
thanks

here: the report, in its arguments
The "attendus" in a judgement (to which this expression alludes) are the grounds and hence, here, the arguments, since we are dealing with a report.

recitals
Sorry for the first answer, but this time I guessed I found the good one.
eur-lex.europa. eu
french "Une telle consultation devrait être mentionnée dans les attendus de la directive conformément à la pratique suivie jusqu'à présent."
english "This consultation should be mentioned in the recitals of the directive in accordance with the practice applied hitherto"

"Recitals refer to the "whereas" clauses that precede the main text of a contract. They provide a general idea about the contract to its reader such as, what the contract is about, who the parties are, why they are signing a contract."
expression équivalente à "attendu que".

in its whereas clauses
Assuming that this is how the "attendu que" clauses have been translated.
Note from asker:
| thanks. I'm not sure there are "attendu que" clauses as this is a Report from the Senate, not a contract. |

Discussion
I'd normally go for "recitals", but (a) I wouldn't usually expect a report to be critical in its recitals (which usually make general statements about the background to the report), and (b) it could just mean "introduction".
