zu Lasten von (in this context)

English translation: to the detriment of

Law/Patents
German term or phrase: zu Lasten von (in this context)
from cartel administration proceedings:

"...nach einer Versagung rechtlichen Gehoers zu Lasten von Beigeladenen und moeglicherweise im ursaechlichen Zusammenhang damit stehend..."

I saw what it said in the glossary ("at the expense of"). I do know that this phrase can be used in a more general sense, but I would prefer something else since we aren't talking about bearing financial costs.

To the detriment of?
What would YOU say???

Thanks.

Actually, I very much liked "to the detriment of" and was wondering if any other translators would concur. I'm glad this term seems to be quite acceptable.

Thanks, Edith.
