French to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents / commercial lease
French term or phrase: à ses torts et griefs
In a contract for a commercial lease:
"En cas de résiliation du bail à ses torts et griefs, le preneur devra supporter tous les frais...." I know what this means in general, but don't know how to translate this combination of "torts" and "griefs" into effective, equivalent English.

Thank you in advance!

agree  Meri Buettner: exactly - entitling injured party to sue (Dictionary of commercial, financial and legal terms)

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: This would appear to be the right term, although expressing it in a natural legalese is no easy task in context.

for 'preneur' default


Explanation:
I have left preneur untranslated - depends on how you've already translated it. Given all costs of the termination of the lease are to be paid by the preneur, you can assume this is referring to termination for default of the preneur.

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: "Lessee" probably works for "preneur". "Default" would generally have a restrictive meaning in context, i.e., failure to pay
11 hrs
disagree  Meri Buettner: yes but the French expression is not specific to only this context - il faut l'expression figée

(termination) for cause


Explanation:
"En cas de résiliation du bail à ses torts et griefs, le preneur devra supporter tous les frais...."

In the event of the lease being terminated for cause, the lessee shall be liable for all costs resulting therefrom.

In the specific context of leases, a "preneur" being a lessee, then this means that the contract is being cancelled through some fault of the lessee. See the following :

http://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/2A/2A-103.html

"Fault" means wrongful act, omission, breach, or default.


See this URL for general vocab on termination of leases by agreement, or by lessor or lessee together with a discussion of fault.

“termination for cause”

neutral  Meri Buettner: this usually translates 'résiliation motivée' (Canadian Bar Association)

  -> You have a point - altho' I find no natural sounding way of incorporating the set "entitling the injured party to sue" in context.

In the case where upon lease termination(or surrender) the injured party is entitled to sue,


Explanation:
Nikki is right - the initial correct "expression" is difficult as is to fit into the sentence.

My suggestion can also be turned around : "Should the injured party be entitled to sue upon lease termination, ..."

for cause


Explanation:
sorry this has nothing to do with suing.
It simply says that if the least is terminated for cause...

Cause refers list of reasons as defined alsewhere in the lease that enable the party to terminate.
