French term or phrase: périmètre de cession
Hello All, I am in the process of editing a financial document in which the above crops up several times. It has been translated as 'Transaction Scope" but this strikes me as being very vague. I understand perfectly what is meant but the right turn of phrase eludes me. Any suggestions?

Explanation:
I sure wish I had an idea of what kind of something fit into that scope... but, in any case, I think that the syntax should be altered, along with choosing the right term. I am proposing a number of alternatives:

"scope of transfer of assets/property" If you are convinced that "transaction" applies, then "scope of transaction".

If finance is the operative factor, then "scope of disposals"

[cf Termium: English:Financial Accounting

disposals s CORRECT

OBS - Compare to «additions». s]

If "financial assets" are involved, how about "disposition of financial assets"?

[cf Termium: disposition of financial assets]

Finally, there is the simple term, *transfer*, which is what LGDT offers--it looks quite persuasive to me!

[cf LGDT: Domaine(s) droit droit civil

transfer (ac)
Conveyance of right, title, or interest in real or personal property from one person to another. (c)

Entrée(s) additionnelle(s):
cession (g)
Note(s): «Cession» est le terme anglais qui apparaît dans le Code civil du Québec. (ab)

cession n f (adegh)
Transmission de droits et de biens entre des personnes physiques ou morales. (abfg)
Contexte(s): Est considérée comme valable la clause suivant laquelle la cession du bail est soumise à l'autorisation préalable du bailleur. (e)
Note(s): Par exemple, cession de fonds de commerce, de bail, de créance. (h)
La cession est faite à titre onéreux ou à titre gratuit. (b)

"scope of assignment"


Explanation:
(assuming of course that context supports "cession" "assignment," as it often does (in the same general ballpark as "transfer" and "conveyance," all with regard to assets).
