French term
à laquelle intervient
French to English
Bus/Financial
Law: Contract(s)
This is a lease amendment agreement. Party of the first part is the Locateur (Landlord), party of the second part is the Locataire (Tenant, a franchise holder).
Party of the third part (the Franchisor) is introducted by the phrase "À laquelle intervient".
I am looking for the exact legal phrase used in contracts drawn up in English. It need not be Canadian EN
FR-CA to EN-CA (although I would be interested in learning UK or US usage, as well, since the pond is narrower for legal language, what-ho/eh/unh?)

: Bit worried about the use of "intervening" in English (for UK anyway) as it suggests the third part is getting in the way!

Without the extra context in the form of the original term in its original context it can be difficult to udnerstand what is happeneing and certainly much more difficult to get a feel for the text. So thank you for having posted the extra - essential - context.
I would not complicate things here. A third party is being introduced. I would indicate that in simple English. After all, the French uses ordinary French, which, in context, is clear to udnerstand. There may be fancier ways of doing it, but I reckon this one has the advantage of clarity and little chance of being misunderstood.

Agreement is between the two parties and the Franchisor. You can also say "and the intervenor" or the "intervening party".
