Dutch term or phrase: intuitu personae karakter

"Gelet op het ***intuitu personae karakter*** mag de overeenkomst zonder het voorafgaand en schriftelijk akkoord van de principaal, niet worden overgedragen."

I cannot find anything sensible for this phrase that seems to have been taken over from Latin. My guess is that they mean "inter-personal character", but I do not know whether this is the ocrrect term in preferable UK jurisprudence.

Any help is appreciated.

in consideration of the specific identity of the persons involved

Explanation:
I would leave this in Latin perhaps and provide an explanation. Here are two explanations in French and Dutch for this type of contract:

en considération de la personne". Elle est composée des ...

Een licentie (niet een overdracht) wordt beschouwd als een intuitu personae contract. Dit is een contract waarbij de identiteit van de partijen doorslaggevend was bij het afsluiten van de overeenkomst. Een wijziging van deze identiteit heeft tot gevolg dat de overeenkomst nietig wordt.

further to Chris\' suggestion, I think \'personal in its nature\' would be a good option, but still feel you should include \'intuitu personae\' as this appears to be the official (Latin) term for this type of agreement:

Grading comment

Thanks to both of you, Allison and Chris.
I decided to go with Allison's suggestion, because there are plenty of UK sites where the original Latin term is used.
Wordiness, by the way, has some advantages, besides being overwhelming. With some selective hearing or reading, one can extract that which fits one's mindset. Very diplomatic, even if it should not be intended as such. ;-)
