Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs
Portuguese term or phrase: jurisprudência dominante

English translation:prevailing case law
Explanation:
"The prevailing case law indicates that such liabilities are transferred; therefore, the acquirer should be liable to the counterparty to the agreement. However, this interpretation has been criticised for apparently contradicting the principle whereby the acquirer is liable to third parties only for debts registered in the mandatory accounting books."http://www.internationallawoffice.com/newsletters/detail.asp...

Jurisprudência and Jurisprudence are false friends. Jurisprudence is the philosophy of law.

agree  Adrian MM. (X): albeit the EN word jurisprudence at the ECJ in Luxembourg - pace Wordwatcher - and ECHR in Strasbourg has become an 'institutionalised' mistranslation of the French word for case(-)law: www.scribd.com/doc/25114538

  -> Thanks. The same error has crept onto the IATE database as well.
agree  ViBe: Jurisprudência and Jurisprudence are definitely false friends here: another "case" of the usual divide between the Anglo-Saxon and Roman (French/Portuguese...) legal cultures
