ordered to file a brief on the merits
Hello,
"plead on the merits" ???
I reckon that's the meaning, but I never see this used very much...rarely... (in all dialects of English, for that matter)
I do see, however, see "filing a brief on the merits"
conclure = to make an argument (filling a brief)
au fond = on the merits
mettre en demeure = to order
I would also like to bring to your attention that writer seems to be using the "l'imparfait dramatique" here in order to put the reader in the middle of the action (to stress the event of "giving an order to..." In English, we normally translate this by the simple past.
I hope this helps.
