Proper translations of Croatian laws and other legal texts in English show that the problems appear precisely in legal terms. For example, does društvo s ograničenom odgovornošću really translate as “limited liability company”, and dioničko društvo as “joint stock company”? Does pretpostavke pobijanja correspond to “presumptions of contestation”? What is “disposal”, and what is “disposition”? Does pravni lijek correspond to “legal remedy”, and “material fact” to materijalna činjenica? How do we say subjektivno pravo in English?

We will analyse a number of legal terms (depending on the time we have) starting with incorrect equivalents, offering the correct ones and – last, but not least – presenting a theoretical foundation whose knowledge will ensure that we do not make certain mistakes in the future. For instance, we will talk about the four types of legal facts and about the influence of time on legal relationships.

We will familiarise ourselves with the types of legislation, judicial decisions and companies – and, of course, with their equivalents in English.

In the wish to answer to your concrete questions, the lecturer invites you to send her in advance any particular terminological doubts you may have in your translating practice at ibendow@yahoo.com and to do so freely and with no introduction (it is sufficient to name the problematic legal term).
