Dutch term

in het ongelijk gestelde partij

Dutch to English Law/Patents Law (general)
'XXXX zal als in het ongelijk gestelde partij in de proceskosten worden veroordeeld'

All I can come up with is the far-from-great-sounding

'as party that was ruled against, XXXX will be ordered to pay the costs'

Anyone able to help me with a better one? Also, I've looked for English rulings (vonnissen) but have so far only found rulings for Criminal Law. Can anyone recommend a source for Civil Law rulings? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): writeaway, Buck

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

unsuccessful party

IATE gives 'the unsuccessful party'. If this sounds too translated, you could opt for a freer translation, e.g. 'The Court found against XXXX and will order them to pay costs.'

party against whom the findings were made

This is perhaps more neutral than 'party found to be in the wrong' or even 'the losing party', although that's waht it means.

neutral Chris Hopley : A defendant who loses is clearly at fault. But if a claimant loses, can they also be said to be 'at fault'?

party found against

Just to point out another option, though I would probably have used "unsuccessful party" myself.
eg.
".. 14. If the complaint cannot be settled by this means, either party may seek independent arbitration, the findings of which will be final and the costs borne by the party found against. .."
