Onder 5.10. Rechtbank Den Haag 20 april 2016

Een alinea uit Rechtbank Den Haag 20 april 2016, ECLI:NL:RBDHA:2016:4230.

In interpreting Article 45 paragraph 1 ECT, the ordinary meaning of phrases is paramount. This particularly concerns the word “extent” , which the Oxford Thesaurus of English defines as “degree, scale, level, magnitude, scope, extensiveness, amount, size; coverage, breadth, width, reach and range.” This dovetails with the Russian Federation’s stated description of the words “to the extent” and which it derived from the Oxford English dictionary (second edition, 1989) and Webster’s Third International Dictionary of the English Language (1961): “to the extent”: “ space or degree to which anything is extended”, “width of application, operation, etc. scope”, “range (as of inclusiveness or application) over which something extends” and “the limit to which something extends” .
