an act incurring or discharging an obligation. Explanation: This is the English translation provided on Legifrance. Although in my opinion not all of the translation of the Code sounds like natural English, I would be happy with this particular phrase. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2017-06-28 13:50:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Asker: The act in question doesn't "entail an obligation" it induces (fraudulently) an obligation (such as a debt) to be discharged or to be circumvented (i.e. not discharged when lawfully it should have been discharged). Accurate wording is crucual here. |
