Contract comments
"- article 16 : j'en suis navré, mais nous ne pouvons en aucun cas nous engager sur le support de coût causé par un corps étranger sans aucun contexte précisé"
This is a comment on a airline contract so I presume "corps étranger" refers to things like birds flying into the engines etc - but is there a better term than just "foreign body"?!!!
Thanks
Kevin
