neutral philgoddard : But your reference is for Beziehung, and the term is Beiziehung. Are they the same thing?

Oops! You're right. But Romain offers "obtain the file" for "beiziehen."

With the additional implication of a demand for files, not just a search for them.

bespeaking of records

Post-selection and as an alternative to Kim's suggestion which I normally use.

Bespeak is or was used for odering company, bankruptcy or land searches.
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : "was used" but not "now used" - it went extinct with the writ of summons// yes and it justified a charge separate from that of actually "getting" the search in many a solicitor's bill of costs!

Odd. Unlike writ of summons, it wasn't part of the E&W civil justice reforms in 1998, but is or was used in search practice only.// Good practical Bill (not Spanish-answerer H.) of Costs now known as Fee Note point. Nothing quite like hands-on experience.

agree Trudy Peters : My thoughts exactly. I think the answers so far are missing the point.

Thanks, Trudy!! I "*consulted" the Grosse Eichborn and they suggest: "access " to files. Beiziehen, as I understand it, goes further than just "obtain": it means "obtain, read and draw conclusions". IMO.
