recommandé en date du 08 décembre 2022 sommant la société à quitter les lieux, ainsi qu’une sommation de quitter les lieux par voie extrajudiciaire en date du 07 mars 2023.

Explanation:
This is in fact short for "signification à toutes fins utiles".

Pretty much a bog standard translation. It's a "preparatory" or "catch-all" notification.

precuationary notice/notification


Explanation:
« À toutes fins utiles » signifie « par précaution », « pour que cela serve éventuellement » ou encore « dans l'éventualité où cela serait utile ». Exemple : « Je laisse mon vélo garé dans la cour, à toutes fins utiles. » L'expression a pour synonyme « au cas où ».

neutral  Mpoma: Interesting suggestion, but it feels a bit too specific and "frightening". It's more "preparatory", "covering all bases" rather than "watch it mate or I'm gonna do ya".

service of process for all CMC pre-hearing arbitration or entry of judgment purposes


Explanation:
British English : North of the Border / in Scotland - judgement vs. judgment - may not be the same 'process'.

Also, the question is assumed to be correctly parsed namely, fait délivrer / une signification à toutes fins rather than fait délivrer ... à toutes fins.

Anyway, the FRE/GER ProZ answer implies that the service is 'effected' for both case management pre-hearing conference (CMC/ E&W + USA from where it had been lifted), arbitration, conicliation or court trial purposes. I'm unsure if the answers so far capture those angles.

"Assignation à toutes fins L'adversaire est convoqué par un acte d'huissier, l'assignation, à comparaître devant un tribunal. Cette assignation est dite à toutes fins ce qui signifie, selon la formule de l'article 829 du NCPC, c'est-à-dire « à fin de conciliation et, à défaut, de jugement"

Example sentence(s):
  • Assignation à toutes fins La saisine du tribunal d'instance s'effectue par citation : l'assignation. L'adversaire est convoqué par un acte d'huissier, l'assignation, à comparaître devant un tribunal. Cette assignation est dite à toutes fins ce qui
  • Case management conferences are designed to identify uncontested facts clarify and narrow the issues in dispute, or address any other procedural or substantive issue in the case.

disagree  Emmanuella: Il s'agit de !a résiliation d'un bail, non d'un procès

disagree  SafeTex: Not only do I think the disagrees are right, but a CMC is before the case goes to trial and an entry of judgement is after the trial, so how can these two suggestions be alternatives???
