Danish term or phrase: (i givet fald) in this context
Is there a specific legal translation in English for "(i givet fald)" placed in brackets at the end of clauses in a legal contract? Or is the general translation of this term sufficient?

Explanation:
Straight over would be something like "in the given instance", but the meaning is more like "if this should occur".
"Should this occur" is very common in legal documents. There might be another phrase, if anyone has a legal dictionary?

"I givet fald", according to
1. Systimes Erhvervsordbog: if required, if need be
2. Gyldendals Røde: if the occasion should arise
3. Gyldendals Juridisk: If appropriate, if relevant

I think "where applicable" does not fully cover this term, in this context. Being able to find this usage on the internet does not necessarily validate it. My gut feeling is that the idea of "If---" is a necessary component of any appropriate translation, and "where applicable" falls short, though it may be appropriate in another context.

"If applicable" would be an acceptable translation
