German to English Law/Patents General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
The abbreviation ho. Zuschrift and ho. Genehmigung appears in correspondence between Austrian government agencies. Does anybody know what this abbreviation means? Does it stand for hoheitliche or something similar?

hierortig, hierorts

I have this from an authoritative source: the state court (Landesgericht) of the State of Salzburg in Austria. I rang them up this morning and was told that - depending on the context - "ho." meant "hierortig" which would the be the equivalent of "hiesig", "and diesem Ort", or "hierorts", which is just a complicated way of saying "here".

Good luck!

I think you're right

haven't had a lot of luck finding Google references, but I think it is indeed "hoheitlich.."

In this case, I think it would be best rendered as simply "official...," unless you have a more definite wording available
Peer comment(s):

neutral LegalTrans D : I would discount "hoheitlich", Ron. The term "hoheitliche Zuschrift" would be rather meaningless. This must be something else, but what???

perhaps, but I think "official" still works

haec officii

= dieses Amtes

This is of course an educated guess. I read through a few pages of Austrian legalese, correspondence between offices, and judging from the context it seems to me that this might a possible explanation.

ho. Genehmigung might well be "approval by this office".

This is only a guess, though, I am not sure at all. If you wish, I can ring up an Austrian court to-morrow first thing in the morning and ask them.

No Austrian lawyers watching?
