French translation:Identification des parties
Explanation:
The "instance" (Scots legal procedure) is the heading to a writ or other proceeding which sets out the names and designations of the parties to the action

The difficulty with "exorde" is that this is used in court judgments as opposed to writs etc., and contains a short summary of the procedure
