Appendix, annex, exhibit, attachment?!
...Sve su to dodaci dokumentu, ali kako razlikovati razne tipove dodataka?
U donjem tekstu, dajemo vam objašnjenje na engleskom jeziku u kojoj situaciji koristiti koji naziv za dodatak dokumentu:
An appendix is a collection of supplementary material usually at the end of a contract. It can also be at the end of a book in the literary world.
An exhibit on the other hand, is a supplement to either a contract or more often a brief or other submission to a court.
Note however that supplementary materials to contracts are more commonly referred to as appendices in England, whereas exhibit is the preferred term in the US. In both jurisdictions however, exhibits are far more common in court pleadings, given that such supplements are often later used as exhibits at trial.
An annex is another term used to refer to something that's attached, appended or added to a record or other document. In practice, the term can also be used interchangeably with appendix and exhibit. However, annex is used less frequently than either appendix or exhibit in most legal agreements, with the exception of treaties or similar documents with an international effect. In such cases, annex is commonly used to refer to the materials which supplement the treaty.
An attachment can also be used to refer to items or documents which are appended to a main document. However, the term has recently become more common when used to refer to a document which is attached to an e-mail that can be opened by the recipient separately from the e-mail itself.
And finally, a schedule generally refers to materials that could be in the main contract but are instead moved to the end usually due to their length in an effort to achieve clarity and brevity in the main contract. For this reason schedules are often considered to be part of the main contract and are sometimes required to be separately signed by both parties.
