| principe d'indisponibilité de l'état de la personne rule against any change in pre-determined (personal or corporate) status Explanation: Again, de nouveau and de novo, the answer picked in the first weblinked ProZ precuror is iffy / questionable. principe : pricniple; (general) rule, Bridge. indisponibilité : inalienability, Navarre. Second weblink: not relevant to this question, except from a syntactical point of view. Possible application: the consignors or shippers actina qua / as an ordinary or general partnership with unlimited liability at the start of the ocean-going voyage cannot - on espying a prospective act of piracy - change to a (BrE) limited company (AmE) corporation half-way through to dodge liability: person = natural or legal person. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2023-10-26 12:20:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- acting qua : the latter inserted for 'lovers' of Latin. Example sentence(s):

6 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1principle of inalienability of a person's legal personality Explanation: There's what seems a good article on this principle on the French Wikipédia : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indisponibilité_de_l'état_des_... . This shows, to put it bluntly, that the whole thing is mired in confusion, at least in France. Of course this is Wikipédia so further research may be needed. The first paragraph is quite clearly written. Note the distinction made with "... les règles de l’immutabilité et de l’imprescriptibilité de l’état des personnes". As I read things, indisponibility/inalienability basically means you're stuck with certain aspects of your legal personality - although the article claims that in practice things don't work like that, and in fact never have. As has been said, on the fact of it it seems at best incongruous and at worst ludicrous that a cargo policy should be stipulating things relating to this principle. But there you go. There may be a rational explanation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 heures (2023-10-26 15:56:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- *** face of it -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 heures (2023-10-26 16:22:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- PS just saw Adrian's illuminating note in the previous question distinguishing between "principle" and "doctrine". Here he uses "rule" and I think that "rule" or "principle" is preferable in view of the fact that the actual functioning of French law (according to that Vikip article) does not conform to this ... theoretical notion about how it should. |
