French term or phrase: Dissolution/liquidation
Hello All,

it's me again. This time I need the difference between 'dissolution' and 'liquidation'explained as both have been translated as 'winding up' by the R&C du Management. Thanks in advance. By the way, is Contributions Auditor the most appropriate translation of 'commissaire aux apports'(business transfer)? Seems a bit off, but this is how it was translated. Merci

termination/liquidation


Explanation:
Dissolution is more a termination of, for example, a business or association. Liquidation is more specific and it means to close someone's business by collecting assets and settling debts.

dissolution = winding-up (of a company)


Explanation:
Is there any context for "liquidation"? By itself it is likely to mean "liquidation" or "settlement" but if it is qualified then other translations may be preferable. "Commissaire aux apports" = "Valuer of contributions in kind to the capital of a company". All information taken from The Council of Europe French-English Legal Dictionary.
