Portuguese term or phrase: decisão motivada
I have seen the expressions 'em decisão motivada' and 'mediante decisão motivada', referring to a court ruling.

But what is the English equivalent? This looks like one that should be in a Proz.com glossary, but I haven't been able to find it. Ideas apprecaited.

I haven't found a specific English equivalent, even by asking a Brazilian lawyer. This seems to be the correct meaning. Another possibility is 'well-founded decision'.

Have you considered the fact that there might not be an exact term in the American judicial system for "Decisão Motivada" that corresponds exactly to the Brazilian judicial system?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, but I don't think these search results show 'motivated decision' as a legal term - they bring the words together in expressions such as 'politically motivated decision', which do not suit the context. This is very specific, even occurring in the Brazilian constitution as the apparently self-explanatory term 'em decisão motivada'.
