Flemish jurisprudence dealing with relationships between potato coops and their tax-mitigating members. One new expression: tegensprekelijk debat, from the French débat contradictoire of réunion contradictoire, meaning basically (and slightly bizarrely to my mind) a meeting or hearing at which several or all parties are present. Due to some aspect of legal history with which I am unfamiliar, the reunión contradictoria turns up in Brussels and South America but not in Spain.
This will all come in useful one day.
