Law/Patents - Law (general) / Swiss lawsuit/British English
German term or phrase: mündliche Eröffnung
There are several ways to translate Eröffnung, but none of the standard ways seems to apply here. Would oral announcement be OK in British legalese?

Im Anschluss an die Sitzung fällte das Gericht nachstehendes Urteil einstimmig. Es wurde den Parteien ohne vorangehende mündliche Eröffnung zustellt.
