French term

constaté et verbalisé

French to English Law/Patents Insurance Property
The following is from a document describing the insurance for a corporate credit card:

Outre les exclusions communes à l’ensemble des garanties, sont également exclus : le Vol sans effraction dûment constaté et verbalisé par une autorité (police, gendarmerie, compagnie de transport, commissaire de bord) ;

In addition to the exclusions common to all the guarantees, the following are also excluded: - Theft without forced entry duly verified and registered? by an authority (police, gendarmerie, transport company, flight attendant);

This appears to be a common pair of words, but I don't know what they mean together in this case.

reported and recorded (officially)

"Constater" in the sense of an incident having been reported (as in "oncstat") to an appropriate authority, the authority having been informed and having noted/recorded the incident in writing, the quirk of language being that "verbalisé" here means that an official written record has been made.

I think if one retains the idea of a "constat" (not "oncstat"!), like an accident report form, being a written recoed/report, and the idea of "verbaliser" being the noting of a record officially, it can be understood that both terms are actually quite close. One is the initial recording of an incident, then brought to the attention of (=reported) an official authority in whatever process is involved (police, insurance company) which then makes its own record (=recorded).

agree writeaway : or established (as in the facts were established) and officially recorded. Yes.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Among the answers given, the term "reported and recorded" seems to occur most frequently in this context. I'm not certain, because so many people said that "constater" has a sense of "verified", but this answer still seems the most likely."

corroborated and recorded

"corroboration" is what the cops (or other recognised authority) do 'on the ground' when they visit the incident scene (eg: confirm the victim's account of what happened), and the "record" is what they put in their report. There's sometimes a degree of correlation between the two.

It's not, as you suggest, a mere "assumption". Umbrage is taken...

reported and a written report obtained


I realize of course that it isn't a word-for-word translation of the question but I recently translated two insurance policies, both of which included a Purchase Protection clause. I was surprised to read that while both came from different UK ins. cos, they both had this identical sentence in the Exclusions section : “Theft not reported to the police within 48 hours of discovery and a written report obtained.”

I may not quote my sources for obvious reasons, but the following are very similar :

If You do not report the Theft of Your Electronic Equipment to the Police within 48 hours of discovering it and do not obtain a written police report.

On that basis and bearing in mind that verbaliser = (DR.) Dresser un procès-verbal [i.e. "write a report"] (http://atilf.atilf.fr/dendien/scripts/tlfiv5/advanced.exe?8;...
would "reported and a written report obtained" work in this case?
