passim

My comment:

same in English in a reference, it means throughout it.

Most likely. They shorten it to Pas.

Passim is abbreviated to pass. Here's the Linguee reference for pasicrisie (English translations). http://www.linguee.com/english-french/translation/pasicrisie.html

I don't trust linguée so I would prefer to see your translation than what is there. Why didn't you translate it??? You could have put the word underneath in the explanation....also, are you sure? Because it says only for Belgium and Luxembourg...

Who's to say the text isn't from Belgium or Luxembourg? We have no context whatsoever and France is most definitely not the only Francophone country in the world. The point of these forums is to help our colleagues with suggestions and helpful references, not to do the translation - it's up to Kate to use her judgement - and besides, I believe I've given adequate proof that Pasicrisie is the correct solution. It certainly isn't passim... Right, I'm off to bed now (01h24 in my time zone). Night night.

It was my understanding, Amanda, that this is glossary. Yes, I understand it may be Belgian or Luxembourgeois, I don't think it's for France, but I am not sure. I think your answer is probably right. KATE: please always state the country as these legal things are different in all of them. To a certain extent...

I agree with Amanda. Exemples : Cass. (1re ch.), 17 avril 2008, Pas., 2008, p. 916 ; Cass. (1re ch.), 20 octobre 1978, Pas., 1979, I, p. 215. Les éléments composant la référence suivent un ordre de progression systématique, répondant à un souci d’affinement toujours plus grand dans l’identification de la décision et de sa publication. Dans le second exemple, le lecteur est invité à consulter un arrêt de la Cour de cassation, plus précisément rendu par la première chambre de la Cour, et prononcé le 20 octobre 1978. Le lecteur trouvera la décision dans la revue Pasicrisie, en se reportant au recueil de l’année 1979. Encore faut-il l’orienter vers la première partie, à la page 215, car, jusqu’en 1998, cette revue était subdivisée en plusieurs parties dont chacune possédait sa pagination propre. Par commodité, on recourt à des abréviations qui – pour être accessibles – se doivent d’être conformes aux usages.

Entry (on) Page 224

My comment:

That is, if it is an abbreviation of the French word "passation", which means an entry on a document.

passation is most certainly not an entry in a document. It's used in the expression: la passation des pouvoirs.

No need for such rudeness here Barbara. English here is highly questionable also.

This comment sounds strange coming from you, Ms. White, because if any one has been rude to anyone on this website, IN THE FIRST PLACE, to me and some others, it has been you and your "friend", Ms. Lamb-Ruiz. There are multiple incidences of it.
