Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Contrat
English term or phrase: at law
Bonjour,

Je traduis un contat.

"In circumstances where any liquidated damages are successfully challenged by CONTRACTOR as constituting a penalty or otherwise cannot be enforced against the CONTRACTOR, the PARTIES agree that CONTRACTOR’s liability to the COMPANY will instead be for general damages ***at law***."

"at law" a le même sens que "according to the law", "by law" autrement dit "conformément à la loi" ?

Merci beaucoup !

"at law" s'oppose à "in equity" ("en droit", "en vertu de la règle de droit", par opposition à "en équité").

en équité semble lié à un jugement.

Hope this can help.
