You're very welcome eden. I think I speak for both of us when I say that the research was originally conducted on our own behalf! as we both came up against the same term in translating legal contracts. Anyway, glad you are now the beneficiary!!

Thanks eden and nice to hear that you confirm the results of Sandra's and my own research

I referred to these glossary entries myself in the past, all of which give "Whereas" as the translation, and after further research concluded that the usual legal expression is "Recitals" as Marc suggests.
