arquitectural report
Hi everyone, this is from a Spanish arquitectural report. The client wants a universal English. Under the section about exposure of the structure to wind it says:
En el caso que *incumbe al presente documento*, los parámetros considerados son los que se explicitan a continuación:
I know incumbir means to be the responsibility of someone. I'm having a hard time getting the wording right for an inanimate object such as a document. Any ideas? Thanks everyone in advance.

in this case
The Spanish is very wordy, and you don't need to mention the document at all. You could just say: "In this case, the following parameters were considered."

It seems fairly plain from the source text that the 'case' referred to is not the document itself, but rather that which the document is about.
