major law Explanation: O texto quer dizer que, no intercâmbio entre os 130 países da OMC, o que fala mais alto são os acordos celebrados entre seus membros, e não as leis específicas de cada país que eventualmente tratem de comércio internacional.-----Portanto, major law. |

governing law, controlling law Explanation: I'm not at all sure about this. Go to WTO website (www.wto.org) and see if you find something in the WTO Final Act about this law superseding a country's other laws. Within Brazil, Lei Maior usually is a synonym for the Constitution, employed by the eloquent legal writers. Reference: http://www.wto.org |

also "ultimate authority" or "of last resort" Explanation: Lei maior in this case means it is the ultimate authority in the case. It is treated like a supreme court decision in the sense that there is no further appeal. Juan Café |
