French term
acte sous condition resolutoire
French to English
Law/Patents
Real Estate
Context is "Aux termes d’un acte sous condition résolutoire reçu par..." in a document relating to various real estate deeds.
Could I use "deed under condition of resolution" or is there a more appropriate term? Thanks!

Selected
deed subject to a condition subsequent
Taken from Bridge. By way of explanation this states that a "clause resolutoire" (rather than "condition", please excuse lack of accents) is a clause voiding the contract in specified circumstances".

: Wikipedia has a handy article on conditions precedent and subsequent (the most common English terms).

acte sous condition résolutoire
deed subject to a resolutory condition
I have to give this a low conf. rating, as I am not en expert in law, and so must not run the risk of misleading you.
As far as I understand it, 'sous' here is probably better renderd as 'subject to'.
And GDT gives a number of suggestions for 'conditon résolutoire', including 'resolutory condition, 'subsequent condition', and 'condition subsequent' (and some others).
You don't give enough context for us to be sure exactly which (if any) of these terms might be the most appropriate.

And of course, whether your target language is BE or AE will likely make a difference too.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Tony. I don't have a great deal more context I'm afraid - this section of the document I'm translating is quite 'sparse' - basically a bunch of one-liners or two-liners that refer to names/numbers of buildings, all relating to the leases. I missed 'condition resolutoire' in the GDT as I looked up the terms separately and got 'Aucune fiche' for 'resolutoire', which was the one I looked up first....Hmmm, feel a bit silly now :-) |
| It's about buildings and their leases in France, it's British English and the document relates to a set of buildings and their leases. There really is very little more I can add without breaching confidentiality. Sorry! |

writeaway
: we need more context for sure and it would also be helpful to know what country this is dealing with /actually just saw on one of the another questions that it mentions a notary in Paris. That is in France, right? ;-) /Not in Kansas either, D.....

Yes, indeed; I must admit, I had assumed it was mainland France, but perhaps Asker could confirm...? // Hmmm... well, I don't think we're in Texas, Toto!
