Danish term or phrase: Terms within a Reference/Footnote
*Danish > English*

I'm having trouble knowing what some abbreviations used in a footnote of a legal doc. and would really appreciate any help.

Footnote in full: U 1998.1116 H, FT 1992/93, till. A, sp. 9541 f, Poulsen og Rasmussen: Aktieavancebeskatning (1995), s. 43 ff og Cirkulære nr. 137 af 19. juli 1994 pkt. 2.5 og pkt. 3.3.3.

This is what I have so far: U 1998.1116 H, FT 1992/93, till. A, sp. 9541 f, Poulsen and Rasmussen: Capital Gains Tax (1995), p. 43 et seqq. and Circular no. 137(2.5)(3.3.3) dated July 19, 1994.

"till." could be "through", "to", "authorization"? The other ones, "U", "H", "FT", "A", "sp.", "f" are unclear to me.

Explanation:
Hey Rebekah

Im a business law major from Denmark. I cant remember all of them, but maybe I can set you in the right direction.

U = Ugeskrift For Retsvæsen (danish weekly magazine that enlists all verdicts in their full)
H = Højesteret (supreme court) it is a reference to a specific verdict.
FT = Folketingstidende. Like the U the FT is also a magazine that document the proces of the legislation that is being voted upon as I remember it.

Till. is short for "tillæg" and means addition..... roughly translated. Add on A is a section of the magazine.

Hope I helped a bit at least.
Have a nice day.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you so much, Martin. I wasn't sure how to frame the question given the context was so important to getting the right answers for a word/term as ambiguous as "H". So, thank you for answering my question EXACTLY as I was hoping. I really appreciate it. Take care and best of luck with your studies!
