darzulegenden

Darzulegenden is a German attributive participle form derived from the verb darlegen, meaning to present, lay out, or explain. In formal and legal German, the phrase the darzulegenden … denotes the elements that must be produced or disclosed. It is used to indicate documents, evidence, or facts required by a procedure, contract, or negotiation.

Morphology and usage: As an attributive participle, darzulegenden agrees with the noun it modifies and takes relevant endings. After a definite article, the plural form commonly appears as die darzulegenden Unterlagen (the documents to be submitted). For neuter singular nouns, you can encounter das darzulegende Beweismittel (the evidence to be presented). The form can change for other cases, but the core meaning is consistent: it refers to items that are required to be shown or supplied.

Examples: Die darzulegenden Unterlagen müssen dem Gericht fristgerecht vorgelegt werden. This means “The documents to be submitted must be presented to the court by the deadline.” Weitere Beispiele der Form sind die darzulegenden Beweismittel oder weitere darzulegende Nachweise. In translations, the phrase generally corresponds to “the items to be produced” or “the evidence to be presented.”

Notes: Darzulegenden is primarily found in legal, administrative, and formal writing. It is less common in everyday speech, where simpler expressions like “die Unterlagen, die vorgelegt werden müssen” are more likely.
