restraint of trade Explanation: I essentially agree with Catherine. Here "interdiction de se rétablir à la charge de X"= "condition on X not to set up business again". it's common practice when buying a business: "The restraint of trade is an important part of the agreement. Restraint is a condition on the seller not to set up business again in the same type of operation within a particular geographical area. It usually relates to not being able to set up a similar business within five or ten kilometres of the area from where the business was being sold." It is the context of the source texte here, the "acquisition de fonds de commerce". |

to act again as a/to perform the role again of/do business again as a/take charge again of a Explanation: Une interdiction de se rétablir à la charge des crédirentiers était prévue dans l’Acte et ce pour une durée de cinq ans." Prohibition to act as a crédirentier [vendor in a sale with life tenancy] was provided for/set forth/established in the Deed (not sure if it's referring to the deed or the decree). Such prohibition was for a term of five years. VENTE EN VIAGER Sale of property in respect of which all or part of the purchase price is paid by means of annuities paid to the vendor by the purchaser with the vendor generally retaining a life tenancy. CREDIRENTIER Vendor in a sale en viager (see definition below). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2009-02-22 13:41:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A quick draft, my initial suggestion is vague, unidiomatic and wordy: Prohibition to act as a crédirentier [vendor in a sale with life tenancy] was provided for/set forth/established in the Deed (not sure if it's referring to the deed or the decree). Such prohibition was for a term of five years. I would probably rephrase it in English: The Deed established a provision that forbade the Partnership[La Societé] from acting again as a crédirentier for a term of five years. I think that is clear and to the point. Unless, of course, I missed the point. |

interdiction of re-establishment incumbent on Explanation: "Re-establishment" - rétablissement; "To be incumbent on" - etre a la charge de Voir Random House Wbster. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2009-02-22 14:58:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ... corresponds or not. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2009-02-22 15:01:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Answer to writeaway: "Etre a la charge de" does not appear in Webster (wich is a British dictionary and thesaurus), speaking about how dictionary based the translation is. However, "incumbent" does. Feel free to check it. It means "devolving, incumbent on, resting with". It's just translation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2009-02-22 15:02:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- which, sorry...
