English term or phrase: ayuda con frase
Necesito que alguien me ayude a entender esta frase que está tan mal redactada...es un estatuto de una empresa constituida en las Islas Caimán. Necesito ayuda principalmente con lo que está entre asteriscos.

No person shall be disqualified from the office of Director or alternate Director or prevented by such office from contracting with the Company, either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or transaction entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director or alternate Director shall be in any way **interested be or be liable to be avoided**, nor shall any Director or alternate Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract or transaction by reason of such Director holding office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established.

Spanish translation:tenga interés será ni será suceptible de ser anulado
Explanation:
el español es una aproximación (no me acuerdo exactamente de lo que he visto en los documentos de las Islas) pero te explico:

Hay que dividir el inglés así:

nor shall any such contract... be or be liable to be avoided**,

y no es <avoided> sino <voided>

<interested> va con < in which any Director or alternate Director shall be in any way interested>

There\'s no typo. \"Void\" is even the first definition of \"avoid\"

Main Entry: avoid
Pronunciation: &-\'void
Function: transitive verb
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French avoider, alternative of Old French esvuider, from es- (from Latin ex-) + vuider to empty -- more at VOID
Date: 14th century
1 : to make legally void : ANNUL <avoid a plea>
2 obsolete : VOID, EXPEL
3 a : to keep away from : SHUN b : to prevent the occurrence or effectiveness of c : to refrain from
4 archaic : to depart or withdraw from : LEAVE
synonym see ESCAPE
- avoid·able /-\'voi-d&-b&l/ adjective
- avoid·ably /-blE/ adverb
- avoid·er noun

disagree  Marian Greenfield: no, it's a typo... it's voided...

  -> I know, but that's one meaning of "avoid" in legal English. Look at my translation into Spanish.
agree  Lorianne Weston: Indeed - see Diccionario de Términos Jurídicos (Ariel): avoid= anular un contrato, invalidar, evitar, resolver Cf annul, cancel, set aside; voidable contracts

en la cual cualquier Director o Director Suplente esté de alguna


Explanation:
forma interesado no será anulada ni estará expuesta a anulación..., por el hecho de que el Director ostente el citado cargo o por la relación fiduciaria establecida como resultado de la misma. (algo así).

Espero te ayude.
