see below Explanation: Soweit die von der Mieterin zu tragenden Kosten einheitlich erhoben werden, traegt sie die Mieterin nach einem von der Vermieterin zu billigem Ermessen festzulegenden Verteilerschluessel mit der darauf entfallenden MWSt Schäfer gives "share-out key" for Verteilerschlüssel which I think is maybe a bit strange. It's a cost distribution (proration) scheme that prorates the costs and sets the share to be paid by each of the tenants. The phrase "nach billigem Ermessen festzulegenden Verteilerschluessel" means that the distribution of costs is to be done on the basis of the distribution scheme that the landlord will determine at his fair and equitable discretion. In this case, billig does not refer to price, i.e. cheap, but derives from "recht und billig" - equitable, fair. Romain gives "discretion" for Ermessen. I'm not very good at all with legalese, but I hope this might help get you on the right track with this sentence. Good luck. |

see below Explanation: Verteilerschluessel=econ/jur. distribution (or distributative) code with "Ermessen" I wholly agreed with the previous answer. The best translation is discretion; i.e. discretion of the court or at one's own discretion (nach eigenem Ermessen)--Examples from Muret-Sanders; billig is used meaning angemessen= "reasonable" is the word mostly used in legal terms; equitable is implied in reasonable, but you could use equitable. It is not false. But it is better to say, i.e. that he exercises reasonable discretion in determining the distribution code. The legal term "billiges Ermessen" see Schoenfelder BGB parag.315 Bestimmung der Leistung einer Partei Muret-Sanders |
