Portuguese term or phrase:Processo
"PROCESSO: processo(s) judicial(ais) e/ou administrativo(s), no(s) qual(ais) o TOMADOR figure como parte ou como terceiro interessado na lide, ..."
Posso me referir a ambos os processos, administrativo e/ou judicial, com 'Legal Action'? Ou usar 'Process' mesmo?
E usar a'dministrative proceedings' e 'legal suit' (judicial) quando o texto solicitar menções separadas...............
I agree with both terms: you can use "lawsuit" and/or "legal proceeding", depending on what you mean. So, I'd use any of these terms, depending on the situation.
Oi, everybody. The difference here is between the ball (the lawsuit/legal suit) and the ball in motion (the step-by-step proceedings between the filing of the suit and the final decision). May the game go on - not that I want even a day in court.
