French term

parfaitement habilité

French to English Law/Patents Public services contract
Contexte : Marché de services pour la cession de droits d’utilisation de photographies.

Extrait : "Le contractant désigné à l’article 123 déclare et certifie qu’il est parfaitement habilité à traiter et à céder à YYY les droits d’exploitation afférents aux œuvres faisant l’objet du présent marché, dans les termes de celui-ci."

Problème : Don’t worry about anything apart from the rendering of “parfaitement habilité”. It’s the “parfaitement” which is bugging me.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you very much to all of you. Particularly to JeanneZ for the "fully" prompt and to Peter for his prhasing. I just couldn't land on the right term - was up working too late again."

fully authorized

Right after sending off my last suggestion, I realized that "fully" sounds better than "completely."

fully authorised, accredited or legally authorised or fully entitled to

The most commonly used, easy to fit anywhere would be fully authorized. But i have also often found in English and American documents teh other above solutions.

"Completly" though can not be used.

Good luck and take care

Fully capable

v.g. dans le contexte légal: un juge pleinement (ou parfaitement) habilité à entendre la cause...

Autre ex: recevable (i.e. habilité à...)l'enregistrement: capable of registration.
Hope it helps!
Peer comment(s):
neutral Corinne Bono : usually avoided in commercial documents as it is accepted that the general public would consider "capable" as a phisical thing rather than as a legal binding
