Italian term or phrase: diritto positivo
La giurisprudenza di legittimità, con una serie di pronunce, ha ormai sancito che deve ritenersi insito nell’ordinamento un principio generale non scritto di divieto di “abuso del diritto”, in forza del quale non sono efficaci nei confronti dell’Amministrazione finanziaria gli atti che il contribuente pone in essere, servendosi in modo improprio delle forme e dei modelli giuridici messi a disposizione dal diritto positivo, esclusivamente o essenzialmente per il conseguimento di un vantaggio fiscale, incombendo sul contribuente l’onere di fornire la prova dell’esistenza di ragioni economiche che non siano marginali o puramente teoriche.

Explanation:
Positive law in English is a technical term from legal theory. It exists as a term but I don't think it is appropriate in this context.

For example, the most common usage of the term positive law is with reference to the distinction between law and morals.
