Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Nicholas Krivenko: And also agree with the "untangling". In fact, I think this person rather needs to get it straight: "in breach OF a violation"? ;-) That's some sentence!

agree  KARIN ISBELL: Nicholas hat Recht: der englische Satz ist Mist. Teresa hat sich mit ihrer deutschen Übersetzung gut geschlagen.

agree  David Moore (X): Absolutely; you cannot be "in breach of a violation". Either "in breach" or - better - "in violation", but not both.
