Did you know?
- In many Spanish-speaking legal systems, lawyers may avoid using the literal incorporado por referencia and instead use the phrase documento integrante, which literally means 'integrating document'.
- In certain Latin American jurisdictions, instead of 'incorporating' a document, they may use the term anexo, which treats the referenced text as an 'appendix' or 'annex' rather than a part of the original body.
- While incorporado por referencia is used in legal texts, Spanish lawyers often use the phrase remisión expresa to describe the act of referring a reader to another document.
