Education / Pedagogy / Dance academy | | English term or phrase: extenuating circumstances | Secondo voi, in questo contesto, in italiano è corretto usare il termine "attenuante"? Avete qualche idea migliore?
Si tratta delle norme per la rinuncia agli studi presso un'accademia di danza.
The deadlines for receipt of the signed and dated withdrawal form determine the extent of the students’ liability with regards to the payment of the tuition fee. If the withdrawal form is received by the relevant deadline, a refund of the full or partial tuition fee is possible. If the withdrawal form is not received by the relevant deadline and no **extenuating circumstances** apply, no fee will be refunded.
Information on which circumstances may be thought of as **extenuating** and what kind of evidence are acceptable can be found in the Extenuating Circumstances Guidance (Appendix 3).
Qui c'è l'elenco di alcune "extenuating circumstances":
Illness
Personal Injury which prevents a student from studying
Stress or other emotional difficulties
Trauma or severe personal loss e.g. victim of mugging, rape, or a witness of crime, a serious fire or accident
A death of a partner or close family member

direi così perchè di solito si usa questa espressione quando non si può fare ql che si dovrebbe fare per gravi motivi. E, anche nel testo, nonostante l'espressione inglese, non si tratta di "attenuanti" (che poi mi suona più termine giuridico), il che vorrebbe dire che contano un po', ma non del tutto. Si tratta invece di motivi che "giustificano" appieno il mancato pagamento, che sollevano la persona dalla violazione dei tempi prestabili. E i motivi, in effetti, sono circostanze piuttosto gravi. |
