French to English Other Law (general)
What is the equivalent in Anglo-Saxon countries?
TIA!

Discussion

Adrian MM. (X) Nov 20, 2015:
Anglo-Saxon = Anglo-American I get Gad's drift. Many countries, inc. French- & German-speaking, refer to the Anglo-Saxon legal systems when they mean Anglo-American (+ Can+Oz+NZ+Indian SubContinent etc.) Common Law countries. In fact, I - perhaps foolishly jumping to conclusions and making assumptions - thought that the latter was a or the bog-standard translation.
AllegroTrans Nov 20, 2015:
"Equivalent in so-called Anglo Saxon countries" Gad, do you mean countries with the English/common law system?
For a start, we don't refer to them as Anglo Saxon, even if the French do. Nobody in Ireland, for example, would describe themselves as Anglo Saxons and I very much doubt whether native Indians living in India would so so.
As for "equivalent" it is very often the case when translating terms from Civil Law jurisdictions into English that there is no equivalent.
The official name of this Court on the Monaco Government website is Court of Revision.
Gad Kohenov (asker) Nov 20, 2015:
Daryo it is Monaco in fact Supreme court will be the equivalent?
Daryo Nov 20, 2015:
is it that court or some other court in some other country that happens to have the same name? Like

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cour_de_révision_(Monaco)

which is another beast altogether - doesn't deal with the same sort of cases?
Gad Kohenov (asker) Nov 20, 2015:
Yes Daryo I have seen this wikipedia entry.

Selected

Court of Revision/Court of Review/Review Court

Either one would be appropriate, I would say.

French term (edited): (Mon) cour de révision

(Monegasque) Supreme Court of Justice and Highest Appeal; (France) Criminal Court of Appeal

Makes a difference where it's from.

French creature with an E&W equivalent: Criminal Appeals Division of the High Court in London.
Peer comment(s):

agree Daryo : Supreme Court of Justice and Highest Appeal

Yes, indeed.
neutral AllegroTrans : Not the "official" name in EN according to the Government of Monaco// Monaco often goes a different way to the rest of France and whilst interesting, your E&W equivalent is irrelevant

Fair enough. But the French namesake - that it might be useful to contrast - goes a totally diferent way.//No need to be Anti-English!

Peer comment(s):

agree Alain Bolduc : Since there is no indication as to the finality of the appeal or revision, simply «appellate court» would be more appropriate. as there could be more than one level of appeals depending on the judiciary system being considered.

neutral AllegroTrans : Not the "official" name in EN according to the Government of Monaco; and anyway this is the actual title of a court, not its "level" in the court hierarchical structure
