para recusar

English translation: to file a motion for recusal

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / fideicomiso - México
Spanish term or phrase: para recusar
One of the powers in a power-of-attorney granted to a person representing a company ("Poder general de pleitos y cobranzas, actos de administración y actos de dominio") in Mexico.
That's it - there's nothing after "recusar".

"estarán facultados... c) Para recusar; d)..."

The trouble here is that this can mean a) to recuse; and b) to challenge (as in, to attempt to get a judge to recuse him/herself), and that I'd need something (a direct object) after both those verbs; or use a noun such as "recusal", but I can't find the right verb to go before it.
A previous KudoZ entry just suggests "To recuse" or "To challenge judges" - but it may not necessarily refer to a judge, so I may need something more general.

English translation:to file a motion for recusal
Explanation:
Here's one solution.

The issue of recusal may come up in one of two ways. The first occurs when one of the parties to the case either makes a formal motion or suggests informally that the judge recuse herself. Often, the party will list the reasons he thinks the judge should not be involved in the case. The second way is for a judge to recuse herself sua sponte, or without a motion. These cases are most likely to happen when the reasons for a judge to recuse herself are very clear; however, even if a judge does not recuse herself sua sponte, a situation in which the reasons for recusal are clear almost always results in a motion or request for the judge to recuse herself.

Motions to recuse or disqualify judges and other adjudicators have been made for all sorts of reasons. Most commonly such motions are predicated upon a claim that the judge is biased in favor of one party, or against another, or that a reasonable objective observer would think he might be. But such motions are also made on many other grounds, including the challenged judge’s:

agree  JohnMcDove: Or directly "challenge"?

  -> I really don't know, but thank you, John :-)
neutral  AllegroTrans: Could be correct, but given the absence of the subject it could also mean "to recuse themselves"
1 day 12 hrs
  -> I agree with you, and I have a low confidence level, I'm only suggesting a 'verb to go before it'. Thanks for your opinion, AllegroTrans :-)

Explanation:
This is another option.

If you wanted a broader term this could work, as it may refer either to the judge or to a juror, and it conveys the meaning of recusar. Here are some definitions to clarify my suggestion:

"In a legal sense, [to challenge is] an objection or exception calling into question the capability of a person for a particular function, the existence of a right, or the sufficiency or validity of an isntrument." (Gifis, 2010)

Recusar: Poner tachas al juez, al oficial, al perito o a los jurados para evitar su intervención en un determinado procedimiento judicial (Ossorio, 2010)

neutral  AllegroTrans: This is about representation in the context of a trust (private law), so I cannot see how the representative would be "challenging" judges or jurors; in any case "to challenge" is simply too vague.
