Spanish term or phrase:resolución fundada
Honduras
Dicha disposición legal textualement señala: ": Artículo XXX El juez a petición del Ministerio Público o de parte acusadora, podrá ordenar, mediante resolución fundada, la grabación etc.
Explanation: The statute is "articulo 223," and it is about allowing a wiretap. More context would have been helpful, but I have the Honduran Code anyway. Within the context, I would translate the term as the following: The judge ... may order, based on reasonable grounds, the recording of ...

The SL does not use the probable cause term, per se, but it certainly is what is being conceptually established in the statute. I would not object if you were to use that term for your TL text. For example, “The judge ... may order, upon finding probable cause, the recording of ...”

Here's a little bit more context for everyone:
ARTICULO 223.-Intervención de las comunicaciones. El Juez, a petición del Ministerio Público o de parte acusadora, podrá ordenar, mediante resolución fundada, la grabación de las comunicaciones telefónicas, informáticas o de cualquier otra índole análoga que tenga el imputado o cualquier otra persona directa o indirectamente relacionada con el delito que se investiga.
El Juez valorará, en su resolución, la gravedad del delito investigado, la utilidad y proporcionalidad de la medida....
Perhaps using "court order" without further embellishment is the way to go here. I agree with you that "well founded order" sounds overwrought in English.
In this context it is talking about a court order not a resolution by a legislative body. We do not usually say that a court order is "enacted." I said "well founded order," but that did not sound quite right in English. Are there any English native speakers out there who have a good suggestion regarding court orders? And how would you translate "fundada"?

In this context, "fundada" means that the "resolución" is justified on certain grounds, and that those grounds appear in the document containing the "resolución".
