bindendbindende

Bindendbindende is not a standard term in Dutch law. It appears to be a concatenation of two related forms derived from the verb binden, namely bindend (binding, as an adjective) and bindende (the present participle used as an attributive adjective). In normal Dutch usage one selects the appropriate form for the noun it accompanies, or uses a different noun phrase to express binding obligations.

In legal and contractual language, several established expressions convey binding force. Examples include bindend; as in een bindende afspraak (a binding agreement), een bindende clausule (a binding clause), or een bindende beslissing / uitspraak (a binding decision or ruling). The present participle bindende is common when describing a characteristic, such as een bindende uitleg (a binding interpretation) or een bindende uitspraak. A related distinction is niet-bindend or niet-bindende, used for non-binding recommendations or opinions.

The specific string bindendbindende is unusual and generally not considered correct formal terminology. If encountered, it is likely a typographical error or a stylistic duplication. In formal writing, it is preferable to choose either bindend or bindende, depending on the noun and the grammatical construction, and to avoid tautological phrases.
