Norman While I am not a lawyer, from what I understand, the term "Re" seems to be applied to what, or who, the action, or judgment, is about. My guess, from the context you presented, is that this might well be a document about multiple people/actions in which Redmayne and the others have made a motion and this is the response to those motions. Or, it could be that it is about legal actions that are underway at the time, or sometime in the past, and are being discussed in the document being written about. Thus the "Re" would/could mean 'we are writing about Redmayne's legal problems'. Or, they are citing Redmayne and the others as legal precedents in some action. Bill in the US
