was impugned / was challenged Explanation: It's hard to take this phrase out of context. In full, "The contested ruling was impugned [or "was challenged"] on grounds that it accepted the jurisdiction of a French court for hearing complaints filed by XXX against YYY, ZZZ..." Alternatives for "accepted" include "selected," "chose," or even "opted for"; and you could also translate "demandes" as "charges." Hope this helps! HC Dictionnaire economique et juridique (4th ed., 1995, Navarre) LOTS of legal translations! |
