Law/Patents - Law (general)
German term or phrase: Schlüssigkeit
Example:

Rechtsstreit:

"Auch mit seinem jüngsten Schriftsatz scheitert der Kläger daran, die Schlüssigkeit seiner Klage darzulegen."

I found several translations including, "merits", "coherence" and "conclusiveness". Which is please the appropriate translation here?

Thank you in advance.

English translation:conclusiveness
Explanation:
I would assume that the law suit, since it is not at its first 'Schriftsatz' is already beyond being incoherent. I would therefore opt for 'conclusiveness'.

logic


Explanation:
Other defects in the facts and logic of the complaint
http://www.catb.org/~esr/hackerlore/sco-vs-ibm.html#id307244

Indeed, the Supreme Court has not followed the logic of the Complaint in the least, as a set of key cases demonstrates
https://verdict.justia.com/2012/05/31/notre-dame-sues-the-fe...

The logic of the complaint is nearly identical to claims made against Google

plausibility


Explanation:
Plaintiff fails to demonstrate the plausibility of the complaint.

Compare with this:
"As to the Good Faith and Fair Dealing, the judge ruled that the plaintiffs simply did not “identify any facts – and the Court finds none – to demonstrate” the plausibility of the complaint." http://footlights.click/2016/12/12/dakin-matthews-layman-loo...

sufficiency


Explanation:
According to Dietl/Lorenz, Wörterbuch für Recht

Sufficiency - the question in the law of evidence as to whether a party has produced enough evidence that supports his case. In criminal cases in England and in Scotland, a failure to produce a sufficiency can result in a case being dismissed on a plea of NO CASE TO ANSWER https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/sufficiency

A challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence supporting a fact finding – whether in a jury’s answer
to a question in the court’s charge or in a fact finding made by a trial court – is one of the most commonly used appellate attacks on an adverse judgment. http://www.texasbarcle.com/Materials/Events/5627/93085_01.pd...
