Hi All,

I am currently translating a legal ruling concerning a sales commission agreement in Mexico and would appreciate any help translating the above in the following context:

Many thanks in advance!

PUBLIC DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE / PUBLIC DOCUMENT

I usually use "PUBLIC DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE" here, as the full term is actually "prueba documental pública". You could also simply use "public document". It refers to any documents (issued by government bodies, notaries, etc.) that are a matter of public record.

What is PUBLIC DOCUMENT?
A state paper, or other instrument of public importance or interest, issued or published by authority of congress or a state legislature. Also any document or record, evidencing or connected with the public business or the administration of public affairs, preserved in or issued by any department of the government. See Ilammatt v. Emerson. 27 Me. 335, 40 Am. Dec. 59S
