neutral  Finn Skovgaard (X): I always admire simplification when possible, but "cadre légal" could also include jurisprudence, common practice, not to mention the different levels of legal texts - in France ordonnances, décrets, arrêtés, circulaires, bulletins...

Explanation:
Reply to Jane: Both Collins-Robert EN<>FR and Longman's English dictionary that usually indicates separate US/UK use confirm "framework", but Webster mentions framework in connection with a basic constitutional level. Could it be that "framework" is correct in current UK English but perhaps not in the US? What would you say in US English to talk about the legal "landscape" in a wider sense than just "law"?

Ignore this - I pushed the \"refresh\" key and got the same comment repeated. It looks like I can\'t delete it.
