particular (in this context)

Contracts by their nature are 'private', 'special' and 'particular' to the parties who agree to them...

I don't disagree with any of your comments/suggestion, but I just wanted to be sure that, in a legal sense, the phrase "contrato particular" didn't have the normal meaning of either "private contract" or "special contract".

I don't see anything especially difficult about translating it as 'specific' or 'each individual' - or are we missing a trick here? I am with Victoria and Caroline.

I agree. I'd say, "for/in each individual contract".

10:17 Apr 30, 2008 

I would say the sense here is of a 'particular/specific/individual' contract, rather than 'special' or 'private'.

I was going to post a couple of examples, but I don't really think that they help. Nonetheless, here are 2 instances of "contrato particular" appearing in the text:

" BIENES MATERIA DE COMPRAVENTA Y PRECIO
Las partes determinarán en cada contrato particular los bienes materia de compraventa (los “Bienes”) y el precio pactado"

"OBLIGACIONES DEL VENDEDOR
El Vendedor se obliga a lo siguiente:
...
Ejecutar directamente las obligaciones a su cargo. En tal sentido, el Vendedor no podrá subcontratar íntegra o parcialmente la prestación del servicio de instalación, salvo que se encuentre expresamente permitido en el contrato particular o que exista una autorización previa y por escrito por parte de XXXXX. En ambos casos, el Vendedor mantendrá la total responsabilidad frente a XXXXX.

Hi Paul. Could you give us the whole sentence please? It would be impossible to say otherwise.

Even though you say the text doesn't give any clue, it would really help if you could post the entire sentence where "particular" appears (and, if you're feeling generous, the sentence before and after). Thanks.
