1 hr confidence: 
raise the defences Explanation: Regarding Niki's note above, if the corporation is using a right to defend itself, I would definitely say "raise." "Levantar objeciones" means clearing, but this is not the case in this context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-01-13 18:29:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Raise the defences it is _entitled to_ during (a member's) expulsion procedure." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-01-13 18:29:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Better: "Raise the defences the federation is entitled to during..." |

3 hrs confidence:
put up all defenses [it is entitled to] Explanation: In the light of Ma. Eugenia's and Lydia's comments, I would perhaps phrase the translation of the paragraph in question as follows: "[the Federation] has the right to participate and put up all defenses it is entitled to during [a member's] expulsion procedure." As you have the complete document, Chatia, does this make any sense to you? Saludos. |
