Dutch term or phrase: gedoogsituatie
I am translating a summary of two court cases and am having trouble finding a concise translation for 'gedoogsituatie' in this sentence:

Na twee procedures bij de rechter, waar de beschikking van de gemeente werd vernietigd, kwam de kwestie in een impasse en is er de facto een gedoogsituatie ontstaan.

I'm not sure if they mean exemption, or that the council is simply looking the other way, or something else I haven't thought of. Your help is much appreciated!

a situation of (defacto) permissiveness


Explanation:
IMO toleration does not fit too well in conjunction with situation.
This may be a betty way of stating it.

agree  Chris Hopley: E.g. here: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2... (gedoogbeleid = permissive attitude). The situation seems to be that since the ban was overturned, there was de facto permission to make noise.

agree  Tina Vonhof: I prefer tolerance (passive) rather than permissiveness (active).

agree  Textpertise: With Tina and you but I feel one would be more likely to use the word order "situation of tolerance" than "tolerance situation".
