German term or phrase: Symptomrechtsprechung

Nach der so genannten Symptomrechtsprechung genügt es, wenn der Mangel sinnlich wahrgenommen und in seinem äußeren Erscheinungsbild beschrieben wird. Das bedeutet, dass der Bauherr weder in außergerichtlichen Schreiben noch in Schriftsätzen, mit denen er seine Ansprüche geltend macht, eine Mangelursache angeben muss.

"Sympton Jurisprudence" or "Symptomatic Jurisprudence"

Explanation:
As there is (probably) no such thing in US jurisprudence, and the text itself explains what it is, I think you could just translate it literally and put it in quotes. As such, in the translation, it becomes a defined term, whereas in the German text, it seems to refer to an actual jurisprudential method.

Reference: Background

Reference information:
A number of decisions have noted that each claimed non-conformity must be specifically described, and the fact that notice may be sufficiently specific as to one defect does not mean that the notice requirement for other claimed defects is satisfied.[65] The specificity requirement has been applied to oral notice of lack of conformity.[66] On the other hand, several decisions have warned against setting up an overly-demanding standard of specificity.[67] It has also been suggested that different standards of specificity are required of different kinds of buyers, with expert buyers expected to provide more detailed notice.[68] In the case of machinery and technical equipment, it has been found that the specificity requirement is satisfied by a description of the symptoms of a lack of conformity, and that an explanation of the underlying causes is not required. http://www.cisg.law.pace.edu/cisg/text/digest-art-39.html
