French term

Préjudice

French to English Law/Patents Insurance
Hi everyone,

I'm having difficulty distinguishing this from "dommage". I was thinking along the lines of "injury", but to my mind that implies bodily injury. The full sentence is:

...tout dommage, préjudice et perte susceptible de résulter de l’exécution du présent Contrat

Any thoughts would be very welcome.

Cheers,
Nick

@ Phil "This is an example of lawyers inserting unnecessary synonyms".
No! "Perte" and "dommage" have distinct separate meanings, both in law and in a basic dictionary.

Hi everyone, here is the full sentence: "Chacune des Parties s’engage à souscrire et maintenir en vigueur pendant la durée du Contrat, une assurance adéquate couvrant sa responsabilité civile et professionnelle de même que tout dommage, préjudice et perte susceptible de résulter de l’exécution du présent Contrat".

As in your question about "non-respect", this is an example of lawyers inserting unnecessary synonyms. As you say, they both mean the same, and I'd translate them as one word.

Please post the full sentence
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Feb 8, 2021:
Context It would be helpful to provide a fuller extract of the original. There is no indication from the partial sentence posted that this is anything to do with personal injury. It may be the case, but nothing here shows that.
More info on the general context of the source would help, together with info on the particular section and almost certainly the complete sentence.

Actually, "damage, harm and loss" seems to be a standard form in US law. It might even be that the French expression came from the English one!

French term (edited): dommage, préjudice et perte

loss and damage

Asker has now added the fact that this is from an undertaking to take out insurance.

Note that I have expanded the term to its three word and suggest the standard UK expression "loss and damage" used by the insurance industry. Cara always needed not conflate "damages" with "damage".

Defining "loss and damage"

The UNFCCC has defined loss and damage to include harms resulting from sudden-onset events (climate disasters, such as cyclones) as well as slow-onset processes (such as sea level rise).[3] Loss and damage can occur in human systems (such as livelihoods) as well as natural systems (such as biodiversity), though the emphasis in research and policy is on human impacts.[4] Within the realm of loss and damage to human systems, a distinction is made between economic losses and non-economic losses. The main difference between the two is that non-economic losses involve things that are not commonly traded in markets.[5]
