without recourse to law


Explanation:
Dietl/Lorenz:

den Rechtsweg beschreiten to go to law; to have recourse to law
Rechtsweg recourse to the courts; legal recourse
den Rechtsweg ausschließen (z. B. durch Schiedsvereinbarung) to oust the jurisdiction of a court

Meiner Meinung nach sollte man nicht "court" wählen, da es nicht nur darum geht, die staatlichen Gerichte auszuschließen, sondern einen klagbaren Rechtsanspruch gar nicht erst zu begründen.

Explanation:
also a possibility, depending on your context. E.g. if you enter a competition you cannot question the judge's decision as to who wins (o. has won).
