I can find stuff like "the care principle" but am not sure if I should use it. Something like "due diligence principle" sounds better to me. What is the proper legal term for this in English?

agree  Robert de Wit: Persoonlijk vind ik het geen goede vertaling, maar aangezien officiële documenten deze vertaling gebruiken zal het wel correct zijn. http://www.rechtspraak.nl/NR/rdonlyres/3D6BA1B3-DEEF-4882-B9...
