Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / technical due diligence report
Dutch term or phrase: doorgezette boetes
"De vanuit de X *doorgezette* boetes naar Y en Z betreffen operationele risico’s welke naar onderaannemers worden doorgezet."

"Vanuit de risicoverdeling en de via Y/Z *doorgezette* toerekeningssystematiek is het niet mogelijk om een inschatting te maken van de maximaal in te schatten financiële gevolgen."

How am I to understand 'doorzetten' in the examples above? RSVP. TIA. Cheers, R.

apportioned damages; penalties passed on down the line
Explanation:
We need first to establish whether the target of the verb are contract penalties: prima facie unenforceable in Eng./Can.? law or liquidated damages for contract breach which are enforceable as a 'genuine pre-estimate of loss'.

On the hunch this is a straight (BE) apportionment/(AE) allocation scenario, I - as a non-Dutch/Belgian-Flemish/-Afrikaans interloper - have looked at the persuasive 4 discussion entries so far and wonder why no one else has plucked up the 'Dutch courage' to post an answer.
