document sent to an expert regarding a case
In a letter from a lawyer to an expert:
"Monsieur l'Expert,
Conformément à votre demande, la Société XXXXXXX a établi le présent récapitulatif, récapitulant et complétant les précédents dires auxquels il devra être joint."
It's not the expert's report but rather looks like it's some sort of summary statement made by the claimant with questions to the expert regarding the case...and would the letter start with "Dear Sir"? "Mr. Expert" sounds pretty wierd to me... Summary statement just doesn't sound very specific to me.

: not dear sir if you have the person's name in English. That is rude. Dear Sir is for some kind of form letter

Thanks Jane. Re "Dear Sir", at the risk of raising the old US/UK ... ;-) It might depend on whether you wish to retain the original register.

Comment: "Special thanks to all...went with "summary" as I don't think it's a very "official" document (except that it gets attached to the other summaries submitted to the expert by the other parties - guess it helps him/her write up the final report "contradictoirement")...and no, I did not have the expert's name so had to go with Dear Sir :o) "

Summing up
I think that yes "summary statement" wouldn't be right for me either.
It should start as "Dear Sir".
It should start as "Dear Sir".

: In french, the text is correct, a literal translation doesn't work but your sugeestion would, specially if the first sentence is translated

Skeleton/ short-form statement (civ.)/Short -form proof of evidence (crim.)
Summing-up is what a judge does for a jury at the end of a copurt case.
I'll assume this is a civil case, though not spelt out. In BE, skeleton (i.e. summarised) arguments and pleadings on diskette are what lazy UK judges are now clamouring for.
In a crim. case, proof of evidence is not a tautology. Witnesses and experts are 'proofed for evidence'.
'... teaching” “<your child> needs speech and language therapy” Pages 40-42 at the back of the Code of Practice show how a *skeleton Statement* should be set out ... '

Summary of the Claim
I may as well try as well..."dire" can also mean "a claim".
