Bus/Financial - Insurance
German term or phrase: in Vormerkung nehmen
Insurance claim negotiations, correspondence back and forth between policyholder with liability insurance and party who alleges it suffered damages and wishes to possibly assert a claim against said insurance. Here, the claimant is talking about the sum of damages it suffered. Austrian German in play...

Claimant writes:

"Wir ersuchen Sie nunmehr um Überprüfung und Rückäußerung, ob Ihrerseits hinsichtlich dieser Summe Einverständnis besteht, wobei wir uns diesbezüglich als Evidenzgründen den 26.11.2000 in Vormerkung nehmen."

Is this stating that the other side is being advised that the 26th of November is being used as a reference date for evidentiary
reasons?

A bit confused. Many thanks!

agree  Horst Huber (X): Mark down, reserve. "In Vormerkung nehmen" is merely pompous for "vormerken". When a classmate felt like outright killing someone, he used the phrase "Notschlachtung vornehmen."
