Law/Patents - Law (general)
French term or phrase: plaidoiries d'incident
Report on progress of a case.

"Je reviens à nouveau vers vous consécutivement à l'audience des plaidoiries d'incident qui a eu lieu jeudi dernier par-devant le Juge de la mise en état de la 95eme Chambre du TGI de X, pour faire un compte rendu aussi complet que possible.
Il s'agit de l'incident que nous avons provoqué par conclusions du 3 février 2017, aux fins de demander le sursis à statuer dans l'affaire dont le TGI de X a été saisi à l'initiative de Y (par l'assignation du 2 mars 2015),"
"Incident" here means "point of law"... so "point of law arguments"?

English translation:counterclaim pleadings
Explanation:
In light of the context from your other question, I think that the "incident" here refers to a "demande incident." I find that Articles 64 through 68 of the French Code of Civil Procedure, available at Legifrance in both English and French, provide a good overview of these types of claims, and you can select the claim that makes the most sense in your context.

@Asker = I agree that counterclaim is one type of interlocutory claim according to the French Code of Civil Procedure. That is why I recommended those articles because I thought you would be in the best position to know what type of claim is concerned given the context of your document. I do wonder if "interlocutory pleadings" wouldn't be misleading in English in this case, however.

neutral  AllegroTrans: what about "d'incident"? Can you simply ignore this? and are not plaidoiries "pleadings", i.e. formal written documents rather than submissions, which are something else?// I challenge answers which I believe to be wrong, does that hurt you somehow?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. I'm aware of LegiFrance and should really check it each time (because it not only gives defs in French, but a generally acceptable English version). However, looking at Article 63 ff it seems to me that "counterclaim" is too specific here: as I've always been aware, the French term used for that is "demande reconventionnelle". Article 63 makes clear that such a claim is just one type of "demande incidente", translation for which is "interlocutory claim".

Asker: ... although "interlocutory application" may make more sense in many contexts...
