German term or phrase: unter nachvollziehbaren Erwägungen

Der Beklagte vertrat die Auffassung, dass eine derartige Zahlung nicht korrekt sei und forderte den Streitverkündeten auf, den Scheck zurück zu schicken. Dazu möchte sich der Zeuge XX unter nachvollziehbaren Erwägungen allerdings nicht zu verstehen.

If this excerpt looks familiar, it's because this last sentence has been giving me trouble since last night. Thanks for your help.

for comprehensible reasons

Explanation:
ein weniger schreckliches Deutsch würde aussagen: aus verständlichen Gründen/Erwägungen - und schon ist es leichter, zu übersetzen. "Möchte sich nicht verstehen" ist noch viel schlimmer. Allgemein verständlich würde das wohl heissen: "möchte sich dazu nicht äussern". Viel Spass noch !

unter nachvollziehbaren Erwägungen for plausible reasons

Dazu mochte sich der Zeuge nicht zu verstehen. The witness, however, was not prepared to do so, for plausible reasons.
