Ruling from the Provincial Court of Asturias of 13 April 2000...

“en lo atinente a la indemnización por clientela debe señalarse que ***como pone de relieve autorizada doctrina*** – Villagoméz – se trata de una indemnización compensatoria que ha de distinguirse de la indemnización por perjuicios derivados de incumplimiento".

authoritative academic opinion
Explanation:
"Doctrine" is generally considered a "false friend" in civil law systems when used in the sense of the authoritative writings of university professors. This is underscored in the "Spanish-English Dictionary of Law and Business" in which Thomas West offers the following definitions for "doctrina" as used in this context:

academic writing; academic opinion; the leading authorities; opinion of legal scholars (p. 103)

In this case, the reference is to the writings Marco Villagómez Cebrián, a well-known "catedrático de derecho procesal."

authoritative doctrine


Explanation:
Spanish doesn't have a word like "autoritativa" so the only option is "autorizada", which can be misleading (suggesting the XXX is authorised by someone else rather than speaking with their own authority).
