Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
German term or phrase: man also gar nicht
***Zur Auslegung dieser Klausel kommt, man also gar nicht, erst recht nicht zu verbleibenden Auslegungszweifeln****. Dies zumal die von der Beklagten gewünschte Bestimmung der Leistungszeit gar nicht in der Regelung über die Bankgarantie, sondern an ganz anderer Stelle im Vertrag stehen müsste.

English translation:you're less likely than ever
Explanation:
There's a comma that shouldn't be in your text; "Zur Auslegung dieser Klausel kommt (, ) man also gar nicht, erst recht nicht zu verbleibenden Auslegungszweifel", so your question should have read " kommt man also gar nicht".;

Your sentence reads something like this:
"For the purposes of interpretation of this clause/ due to the layout of this clause you're even less likely than ever before to come across any remaining doubts as to its interpretation"

--------------------------------------------------

This is a positive validation of the layout/ interpretation of the clause which is confirmed by the second sentence, i.e, that the defendant's assertion has been upheld, by the positioning of the ( contractual) performance period clause elsewhere in the contract other than under the heading of bank guarantees;

neutral  writeaway: the comma issue was already explained by a colleague in the Dbox.

  -> Yes, but actually I hadn't read that, and we are being asked for translation suggestions, which I provided; // also, the asker has thus far failed to answer the question of whether this is into English or Italian;
neutral  Thomas Pfann: Zustimmung zum fehlenden Komma, aber nicht zur Auslegung des Satzes. Was es genau heißt, hängt wohl vom voranstehenden Kontext ab. Es geht aber darum, dass eine Auslegung dieser Klausel gar nicht stattfindet.
4 hrs
  -> Das kann sein... aber das Komma fehlt nicht, war aber eher überflußig;
